WASHINGTON -- The man photographed sitting at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desk during Wednesday's riots in the US Capitol has been arrested and charged with three federal counts, including theft of public property, federal officials said Friday.
Federal officials said Richard Barnett of Arkansas was taken into custody Friday morning in Little Rock.
Barnett was charged with knowingly entering and remaining in restricted building grounds without authority, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds as well as the theft of public property, officials said.
A resident of Alabama was also charged in connection with the pipe bomb found on the south side of the Capitol building. Eleven Molotov cocktails and military-style weapon were found in his pickup truck, officials said.
"Just because you've left the DC region you can still expect a knock on the door if we find out you were part of the criminal activity at the Capitol," said Steven D'Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington field office.
"The FBI is not sparing any resources in this investigation," he said.
It was not immediately clear whether Barnett has an attorney.
This man’s behavior was beyond the boundaries of the law and he should be held accountable. Conservatives, do not make the mistake of excusing or condoning unlawful behavior. All conservatives then get painted with one broad ugly brush. The media is looking for every opportunity to condemn every conservative based on the actions of the extremists who are a minuscule percentage our ranks. Support legal opposition, discourage extremism and condemn unlawful behavior or our cause will die under the weight of the media onslaught.

I agree with you...
I don’t like Ms. Pelosi...
But, I do not support this guy did...He made a bad judgment...
I just wish more FR posters would condemn what he did...
I like Congressman Tom McClintock from CA...I would be upset if somebody went into his office without permission...
I would also be upset if somebody went into office of a liberal House member without permission...
i would like to know as well.
there are still people here carrying on that Powell and L Lin Wood are going to save the day and Trump will stay POTUS
some of the posts are so insane and outside bounds of rationality I wonder if there are feds here posting to gin stuff up to put people on a list
In some cases cowardice, in any cases corruption. Beyond infuriating.
btw, i saw one poster indicate it would be okay to storm President Bidens office and send him to the bunker because sometimes you have to pay a price
this is after I said if you storm biden’s office you could get shot dead
how can any rational person actually believe you should storm biden’s office? I am going to have to start watching that poster to see if might post like a Fed
Playing “what if”: If VP Pence had sent the disputed ballots back to their state legislators, as he certainly could have and should have, according to respected constitutional experts and common sense, the crowd of Trump supporters would have cheered and grinned, and the crowd of Antifa/BLM/Marxist trouble-makers would have been entirely on their own to try to cause trouble in some way. What happened would not have happened. I lay the blame squarely on VP Pence.
He was a great man who just died in December.

Enjoy being upset. Pelosi getting taken down a few notches made my day. Maybe you can volunteer as a staffer for her.
Because God knows she has never broken a law or humiliated someone in public. /s
Agreed. Thank you!! Bizarre delusions.
I hope he farted in it.
Are you really serious with your comments? Beyond the boundaries of the Law?? What do you call the scam election ??? Being within the boundaries of the law??
The media has been painting conservatives with one broad ugly brush and condemning conservatives non stop for the past 4 years.
To paraphrase Hillary, At this point what the hell difference does it make what the media says???
We have been called Deporables, Racists, Nazis, Fascists, Chumps and now Domestic Terrorists. ENOUGH - F*CK THE MEDIA !!
In my opinion, the only thing theses idiots did wrong was to take pictures as souvenirs. Fine, then charge them with stupidity.
They will give him the firing squad, and charge his family for the bullet
I’d read Nancy’s laptop computer was taken: Which then became a lectern.
If theft is part of the charges, I hope it was Nancy’s thumb drives!
I have feeling this guy isn’t what you think he is.
Some of them are now claiming the whole incursion into the capitol building was a super secret special military operation, and Ashli Babbitt was a secret agent killed retrieving hard drives for evidence (to be placed in sealed indictments no doubt). I kid you not. They walk among us.
The Boston Tea party was “illegal.”
The elite controllers of the UK still call it illegal.
I am going to start asking if they are feds or just lunatics
