Baked Alaska Jailed for Scottsdale Assault
Baked Alaska tried to skip town. Now he’s stuck in the East Valley for a month longer than he hoped.
A Scottsdale City Court judge remanded the Neo-Nazi provocateur, real name Anthime Joseph Gionet, to jail Thursday afternoon for his conviction in an assault on a bouncer in December 2020.
Assistant City Prosecutor Joshua Austin asked Judge James Blake for the maximum six months in jail. Gionet’s lawyer, Zach Thornley of Goodyear, called the city’s recommendation “unprecedented.”
Blake imposed a lighter sentence of 30 days in jail and $3,200 in restitution.
It was barely a month before the U.S. Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, that Gionet switched on his camera and sought to gather internet clicks in Old Town Scottsdale. He tormented workers at Giligin’s Bar and twice sprayed a bouncer, who was trying to escort him out of the business, with pepper gel during a livestream.
