Warrant issued for arrest of far-right streamer Tim 'Baked Alaska' Gionet after he violates release conditions, fails to show in court


A Scottsdale judge issued a warrant for the arrest Thursday of far-right social media personality Tim “Baked Alaska” Gionet after he said Gionet violated conditions of his release by leaving the state last week to go to Washington, where he apparently livestreamed the U.S. Capitol riot.

Gionet already was facing misdemeanor charges of assault, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass in Scottsdale City Court after police allege he refused to leave a Scottsdale bar and then pepper sprayed an employee. He had been released in that case with the agreement he not leave the state without the court's permission.

Judge James Blake was not pleased that the 33-year-old Gionet chose to skip his court hearing without explanation, and even Gionet's attorney, Zach Thornley, was unable to reach his client on the phone during the court hearing.

Blake set bond at $3,000, saying the $25,000 requested by prosecutors was too high.
