Florida authorities have apprehended the man seen in a viral photograph carrying Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern through the Capitol’s halls during Wednesday’s violent pro-Trump attack.
Adam Johnson is said to be the man waving at a camera as he casually strolls through the Capitol halls holding the lectern. He was photographed smiling proudly wearing a “Trump” wool hat. Johnson allegedly posted other pictures to his social media page showing him inside the Capitol before his account was deleted.
The 36-year-old from Parrish, Florida, was arrested by federal marshals and placed in Pinellas County Jail. It is not immediately known if he has an attorney. His arrest is just one on a long list of upcoming arrests as authorities work to identify those who caused mayhem in the deadly riot.
It is unclear if the podium was recovered.
