The Legend Who Sat in Pelosi’s Chair Sadly Arrested

According to Fox news

A senior Justice Department official said Friday that law enforcement took Richard Barnett, 60, into custody in Little Rock, Ark., after a viral photograph showed him sitting inside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office with one leg resting on her desk.

He was expected to make a court appearance in Arkansas and will be extradited to Washington, D.C., the Justice Department said. After the break-in, Barnett, a resident of Gravette, Ark., told KFSM he was looking for the bathroom when he saw that the door to Pelosi’s office was open.

“I sat down here in my desk. I’m a taxpayer. I’m a patriot. That ain’t her desk — we loaned her that desk,” he reportedly said. “And she ain’t appreciating the desk, so I thought I would sit down and appreciate the desk.”

He was charged with violent entry and theft of public property, among other things. Previous reports allege he took a letter from Pelosi’s office.

“The shocking images of Mr. Barnett with his boots up on a desk in the Speaker of the House’s office on Wednesday was repulsive,” said Acting Attorney General Jeffrey. “Those who are proven to have committed criminal acts during the storming of the Capitol will face justice.”

Investigators identified Barnett through Department of Motor Vehicle records and law enforcement databases they compared with photos that showed him in Pelosi’s office, the Capitol Police Department said.
