Update 02/27/2022 5:32pm:
When the capitol riots took place in January 2021, Adam Johnson paraded Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lecturn around while walking through Capitol hall. Johnson was eventually identified and arrested for his part in the riots. Now, it appears Johnson has received sentencing for his crimes.
In November 2021, Johnson pleaded guilty to entering and remaining in a restricted building. In his case, federal prosecutors asked for a 90-day sentence. Johnson was instead sentenced to 75 days in prison.
U.S. District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton said Johnson made “a mockery” of the events that were happening by grabbing Nancy Pelosi’s podium and actively participating in the attack. Walton said he couldn’t look the other way on the viral display put on by Johnson, saying the man deserves to be incarcerated because of that. Johnson will reportedly receive time served and will have to pay $5,000 in fines.

Recently, the U.S. Capitol building was stormed by rioters, resulting in numerous people's death. However, the aftermath of the event has now found people being arrested due to viral photos and videos that surfaced during the day-long insurrection. One of the people who has been pinpointed and arrested was a man named Adam Johnson, who was seen holding Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lecturn while walking through the Capitol hall.
The man, who could be seen with a Trump hat on, reportedly waved at the camera as he carried the lecturn around, and posted images of himself inside the building before deleting his account. The 36-year-old man was taken into custody by federal Marshalls and put in the Pinellas County Jail. Charges for Johnson are currently pending.
