The MAGA rioter who put his feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk has been arrested along with a man who brought 11 Molotov cocktails, two handguns and an assault rifle to the Capitol on Wednesday.
The DoJ announced on a call with reporters on Friday afternoon that 15 people had been charged including Richard Barnett, 60, who was seen putting his feet on Speaker Pelosi's desk and leaving a threatening note on it on Wednesday.
Barnett, who proudly referred to himself as a white nationalist on social media, was charged with unlawful entry. He was taken into custody at his home in Little Rock, Arkansas. It's unclear where he now is or if he'll be extradited but he is in custody.
Lonnie Coffman, 70, has also been arrested after police found his red GMC pick-up truck near the RNC - where a pipe bomb was left. He has not been charged over the pipe bomb but cops found two handguns, 11 Molotov cocktails and an M4 carbine assault rifle in his vehicle.

The media intentionally misunderstands. They know most people think white nationalist is like the KKK or Nazis, instead of some yahoo! trying to be clever.
Shoulda put fingerprint ink on his butt and left a huge print on her desk.
Sadly, I think we are already there and have been for a bit.
I’ve seen videos where Capitol Police waved people past barricades or open the doors into the building.
This is the “Trump” DOJ in action. 4 years and not single coupist jailed. 15 Trumpers arrested in two days. We’re there is a will there is a way..
Thanks for the chuckle.
I am glad he was caught and charged. Even Trump has condemned these people.
I’m sure you’ll be glad when they arrest and charge POTUS for inciting a riot, too. Either we hang together or we all hang separately.
BINGO! I have it on very very good authority that was not / is not Nanzi's desk or office, hers is further down the hallway. More fake news that is driving the false narrative.
Whites who are nationalists do not refer to them as white nationalists. Only the LEFT does that. It is a made up slur.

I thought the Capitol police explictly said his death was not related to being hit on the head.
I wish they would hurry up and arrest everyone they want to Trump can pardon them before he leaves.
Someone asked me how you can tell someone inside the Capitol is MAGA. I say, because you don’t usually see MAGA wearing masks. Antifa usually is.
Sometimes people are just tired of being denigrated for being white and believing in America First. Thus, he might describe himself, in the true definition of the term, as a White Nationalist. The perjorative nature of the term has been amplified by dishonest people.
Notice how they called it a MAGA riot.
Unlike the BLM and ANTIFA “Protests”
He might have bent up a paper clip into the shape of a GUN!
Can you point me to a video of the officer being beaten to death, because all the reporting I can find that has been verified is that he was at the rally, and then returned to his offices.
I don’t want anything to do with a person who brakes the law.
Exactly what I was thinking. Putting one’s feet on the furniture in DC seems to be a trend.
