Richard “Bigo” Barnett, the Arkansas man who landed on front pages world wide after he was photographed reclining at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) desk and stealing her mail on Wednesday, has been arrested.
Under United States Code 18 Section 1708, federal mail theft is a felony. If you are charged with mail theft , you could face up to five years in federal prison and fines of up to $250,000.
And the “I left a quarter” defense is not going to work. Neither will the “I am too stupid” defense.
How about conspiring to interfere with a federal election? How about conspiring to overthrow the government? I think there is a LOT more than trespass here.
Could be, but he could also be charged with crimes too numerous to mention. His trespassing was a terroristic act as well, due to the political nature of the threat.
Destruction of federal property… assault on federal employees. accessory to murder of federal government employee, theft of federal property, likely crimes involving security as well. etc etc etc. And search the idiots house, I bet he has a bunch of illegal arms.
And that doesn’t even get into riot charges, hate crimes, threats of murder, sedition, inference with government work, election interference.
Evans, who live-streamed his breach of the the Capitol, later defended his actions by saying he was “an independent member of the media to film history.”
Unpossible. He can’t be media because the mob didn’t hang him.
