GRAVETTE, Ark. — A man seen in a viral photo sitting behind a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office as President Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol is from Northwest Arkansas.

Shortly after President Donald Trump addressed his supporters Wednesday (Jan. 6) afternoon, vowing "never to concede" the election, large crowds of Trump supporters marched to the U.S. Capitol and breached police barricades, making their way into the building and inside Senate chambers.

Among the most striking images was one of a man with his foot on a desk in Pelosi's office. That man is Richard Barnett of Gravette, Arkansas.

5NEWS spoke with Barnett, and he confirmed he was at the protest today when the photo was taken at the desk in Speaker Pelosi's office. He claims he was just looking for a bathroom inside the Capitol building.

1. Seriously? That doesn't explain him waving around a letter he stole from Pelosi's desk.

Asshole. Let's see how that plays in court. If he doesn't get a pardon first.

6. Along with Federal violations....

and to avoid the prospect of pardons for these terrorists, they should also pursue local charges such as trespassing, vandalism, theft, firearms violations, etc.

[TryLogic]

17. Yes

[catbyte]

19. Is that possible in the District? The Department of Justice prosecutes crimes committed in DC

because of its special status.

[IronLionZion]

24. Federal charges for the Capitol, which is federal property

We have our own Attorney General and courts to prosecute local crimes committed outside the Capitol. There is city owned land and private land all over DC.

2. Watched the clip

Stunningly stupid human being.

[MineralMan]

3. He should be under arrest at this moment.

[TryLogic]

18. Yes, or very soon.

[IsItJustMe]

4. Yeehaw!!! Yep, just a good ol boy. Some may call him good people.

[Paladin]

5. trump's probably already signed a pardon for this dipshit.

Hell, a Medal Of Freedom is probably in the works, as well.

[safeinOhio]

7. I want to see his inter net post.

Lets see if he is hard core Anti-fa as suggested by FAUX.

[Hoyt]

8. Might be best to arrest him after Jan 20th to avoid a trump pardon.

[PSPS]

9. One of trump's "special people" whom he "loves."

[ToxMarz]

10. Well he shouldn't have a problem finding the toilet in his jail cell

[2naSalit]

26. +1

[eTXwLA]

11. He'll be guest-hosting on Newsmax by next week.

12. Pelosi's chair

[SWBTATTReg]

28. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting ... these idiots don't appreciate what they are sitting in,

nor have they earned that right to ever sit in those seats. Hallowed ground has been violated.

[They_Live]

13. I thought this guy is part of Glenn Beck's "the Blaze"

??

[George II]

15. That was another one who was in Pelosi's office, probably the guy who took this picture.

[They_Live]

27. Ah-ha!

Thanks for the info.

[marble falls]

14. Fuck him. He probably had to cut an ankle monitor to skip to Washington, DC.

[LiberalArkie]

16. What person thinks that breaking into a building to use the bathroom is ok?

And stealing mail from the building is legal?

[Bengus81]

20. Tell that "bathroom" story to a Jury in his Federal trial......

It won't be funny then........

[Nitram]

21. He thinks Pelosi's office is a bathroom? He's just as dumb as he looks.

[randr]

22. I had to pee is his legal defense?

This is gonna take a lot of popcorn before its over.

[dware]

23. This guys an idiot,

no, he's a fucking idiot, confessing, on tape, that he committed several Fed. felonies.

The US prosecutor is going to have a field day with this at trial providing that a plea deal isn't reached, and judging by this guy's intellect, or lack thereof, he'll probably think this isn't a big deal and he'll decide to take it to trial, where he'll lose big time.

25. Cracker should've worn his hood...

then no need to tell a whopper.

[twin_ghost]

29. They have bathrooms in prison also. n/t

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

30. K&R

[Rollo]

31. Pelosi should give her office a full decontamination...
