According to footage and photos, a man named Richard Barnett was seen putting his feet up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk during the riots that took place at the U.S Capitol building. Since then, the man was apprehended and charges that could possibly put him in jail for over 10 years. Barnett was originally supposed to be released on $5,000 bail into house arrest while he awaited trial. However, a federal judge in Washington D.C. reversed bail for Barnett.
Court documents noted that the government filed an order to have the rioter transferred to Washington D.C., which was granted by U.S. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell.
The government reportedly asked the judge in Arkansas who granted bail to Barnett to postpone his release, but the request was denied. Since then, the denial was overruled, and Barnett is set to be escorted by U.S. Marshals to the Capitol. Stay tuned for more updates.
