A man photographed sitting at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desk during the D. C protests on Wednesday has been arrested and faces multiple charges, according to federal officials. Richard Barnett from Arkansas was arrested this morning in Little Rock, Arkansas, said Ken Kohl, first assistant for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington on Friday. Kohl told reporters during a conference call that Barnett was charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building and grounds without authority. He is also charged for violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds and for theft of public money or public property. Photos of Barnett that went viral on social media showed him casually sitting with his foot on a desk inside Pelosi’s office. He was seen taking the Speaker’s mail and leaving a quarter on her desk.
