The suspect was arrested in Florida.
Florida officials say they arrested one of the alleged Capitol protesters on Friday night, who was seen in a viral photograph carrying Mayor Pulpit Nancy Pelosi’s pulpit through the halls.
Adam Johnson, 36, of Parrish, Florida, is being held in Pinellas County Prison and is awaiting charges after federal delegates caught him, according to prison records.
Johnson is reportedly the man in the photo taken during Wednesday’s operation at the United States Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump, where he waved at the camera while holding the pulpit in his right arm, according to investigators. Johnson, who was shaved in his photo, appeared in the photo with a beard and a wool cap with “Trump” written on the top.
No information from Johnson’s lawyer was immediately available. The status of the pulpit is not known immediately.
Photos from his now deleted social media page showed him inside the Capitol.
