Suspected U.S. Capitol 'lectern guy' arrested on federal charges in Pinellas County
Fox 13 ^ | 1/9/21

LARGO, Fla. - The smiling 'lectern guy' seen in a now-viral photo taken during this week’s invasion of the U.S. Capitol has been arrested in Pinellas County, records show.

Adam Johnson of Parrish is being held on a warrant issued by the U.S. Marshal’s Office. The 36-year-old was booked into jail just after 9 p.m. last night.

Federal officials have not publicly identified him as the man seen toting Nancy Pelosi’s lectern during the riot -- and whom some social media users mistakenly identified as "Via Getty," based on a misinterpretation of the photo caption -- but a former parishioner from his church told FOX 13 that she immediately knew who it was.

""I just wanted to make sure people knew who he was so that he could be held accountable.""

And the State appreciates your information, Comrade.

Florida. Of course. What did he do with it? Not like it would blend in with checked baggage on the flight home.

Don’t you dare go toting Nancy Pelosi’s lectern or the feds are gonna come get ya. What a joke the USA has become. Tyranny in full swing. All the corruption between Pelosi and Biden and the populace marches on, whistling pass the graveyard.

“When FOX 13 stopped by Johnson’s house, the numbers had been peeled off the mailbox...”

It could be that the cops were too smart to be thrown off his trail by his peeling those numbers off the mailbox.

“I’m sure he will get at least 10 years.”

Maybe he will take the stand in his own trial.

“Jury nullification”

With a Washington DC jury?

That’s funny.

Maybe my tinfoil hat is on too tight, but it seems odd that two groups apparently committed the most blatant crimes on camera - those wearing the most Trump gear and those wearing all black antifa outfits. It will be interesting to hear this guy’s background.
