Richard Barnett, the Arkansas man who sits with his feet on the desk of the Nancy Pelosi home during the January 6 riot at the Capitol, has been placed under house arrest while on trial on various charges related to the incident.
Barnett, 60, was released on $ 5,000 but forced to stay home after a trial in Little Rock, Ark. He will be banned from accessing the internet or contacting anyone who took part in the riot, according to a ruling by U.S. Magistrate Erin Wiedemann.
Barnett is facing various charges, including knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building with a deadly weapon in a restricted building, disorderly conduct on the Capitol site and theft of public property. He faces more than 11 years in prison and hundreds of thousands of fines if convicted on all counts.
Barnett was photographed staging a stun gun in the Capitol with other supporters of President Trump who stormed the complex protesting the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Prosecutors shared various images depicting Barnett’s actions on January 6, including photos of him sitting at Pelosi’s desk and a video in which he boasted of taking an envelope from her office.
