The man seen in a now-viral image carrying away Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) lectern during Wednesday's deadly riot at the Capitol was released Monday on $25,000 bail.
Tampa-area news outlet WTSP reported that Adam Johnson, 38, was released on bail with the conditions that he surrender his passport and wear an electronic monitoring device.
An attorney for Johnson addressed reporters at a press conference Monday afternoon, and seemingly admitted that his client was the man in the photo carrying stolen property.
"You have a photograph of our client in a building, unauthorized to be there," said Dan Eckhart. "I'm not a magician...so yeah, we've got a photograph of our client, what appears to be inside a federal building...with U.S. property."
