The alleged stun gun-toting rioter photographed with his boot up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk will remain on house arrest pending the resolution of charges that could put him away for more than a decade.
A federal magistrate judge ordered the release of 60-year-old Richard Barnett on “very, very restrictive conditions” following a five-hour hearing Friday.
After posting $5,000 bail, Barnett will be under detention at his Arkansas home without internet access and must surrender his passport, according to Politico.
His release came over the objection of the U.S. Attorney’s office, which asked for another hearing so prosecutors could argue again that he’s too dangerous to be freed.

During Friday’s hearing, prosecutors said Barnett was a dangerous person who had tried to avoid capture by turning off location services on his phone and covering his face after images of him “making a mockery of [House Speaker Pelosi] and her office” went viral.
Federal officials also said he seemed to “very much enjoy this moment of fame,” after he put his foot on the desk of the nation’s highest ranking Democrat and boasted about stealing a document.
Prosecutors also played video of Barnett buying a stun-gun, walkie-talkies and pepper spray on New Year’s Eve. Barnett’s girlfriend testified that she encouraged him to bring the weapons to protect himself, Politico reports.
Barnett’s White Plains defense attorney Anthony Siano called about a half dozen character witnesses and highlighted the fact that Barnett and his family received threats following his prominent role in the uprising on Capitol Hill.
“He appears to be a law abiding citizen, for the most part, although there have been incidents that do cause the court concern with him being armed at rallies,” Magistrate Judge Erin Weidemann conceded.

Sorry to those who think sitting at Crazy Nancy's desk is terrorism, but this makes me lol
I love these photos. 😀
Nanzi has been terrorizing this nation ever since she stunk up the halls of Congress.
11.5 years? Did he carry a weapon with him? If not, all I can see is that they can charge him for trespassing and vandalism.
Those aren’t selfies. Who took the pics? Shouldn’t that person be considered an accomplice? Are we supposed to believe there’s not surveillance cameras capturing the two of them entering and exiting her office?
Arkansas home, eh? Hello, suicide hotline?....
No weapons.
Google: It is legal to possess self-defense sprays in the District of Columbia, such as mace or pepper spray. ... A person 18 years or older may possess a stun gun in the District of Columbia; it may only be used to protect themselves or their property.
Leftists take themselves extremely seriously. No humor allowed.
So much for “The Peoples House!”
He squeezed the old-lady farts out of her seat cushion, those can’t be replaced!
The poor guy doesn’t stand a chance if he’s prosecuted in DC.
Not only does the DOJ stand for the Department of Just-us, any jury that will be convened there is a MAGA hanging jury.
Yep, stun guns are allowed in DC....but he was on federal property, not DC property and they are prohibited...
I see an older guy sitting in Nancy’s chair. How is this “rioting”, exactly?
These pictures are for the history books. The last one should be framed and hung on Nancy’s wall.
I would call “sitting in Nancy’s chair” an attempt at suicide. Nobody knows what lurks in that fat ass of hers? COVID, AIDS, Syph, Cooties (no, not the game), Hemorrhoids, gas warfare?
In her case, Penicillin ain’t gonna do it!!
Thats quite a crime... foot on desk... maybe lethal injection would be more appropriate?
Boy the ruling class really do live under a very different legal system.
He put boot on Field Marshal Pelosi’s chair. Vee have vays of breaking dis deplorable dummkopf who made her excellency look like big wanker.
Botulinum!
