Intruder Arrested In Pelosi Capitol Office
After the assault on the Capitol, a man was proudly photographed in the chair of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Democrat Nancy Pelosi: Now the alleged perpetrator has been arrested. He is charged with breaking into a specially protected building, burglary, vandalism and theft, as announced Friday by a senior Justice Department representative, Ken Kohl. Richard B. was arrested in Little Rock, Arkansas. A photo from Wednesday showed a man sitting in Pelosi’s chair with one foot on the table.
The ministry also files 14 other charges under federal law, Kohl said. One of the suspects is accused of having eleven incendiary devices and weapons in his car parked nearby. Molotov cocktails were particularly dangerous because they were mixed with a kind of foam, which resulted in a napalm-like incendiary bomb, Kohl said.
“They pushed me there,” the man had told Arkansas broadcaster KFSM 5News in defense. “I was looking for the bathroom.” However, she had the right to be in Pelosi’s office. This was finally paid for with tax revenue. “This is my desk. I’m a taxpayer,” he said. Before leaving the office, he said he took an envelope.
FBI Washington Deputy Chief Steven D’Antuono said the investigation will continue “around the clock” with hundreds of employees. “The riot and destruction that we saw on Wednesday will not be tolerated by the FBI,” he said.
Police announced dozens of arrests following the assault on the Capitol by supporters of incumbent President Donald Trump. Investigators now verified leads, photos and material from social media to identify other suspects. The FBI has already released its first wanted posters.
