A Chicago man who stole a photograph “of extreme sentimental” value to then-U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Friday to more than four years in prison.

Kevin J. Lyons became the second known person from Illinois to face federal charges as a result of the Capitol riot when he was arrested exactly one week after the event. The feds have since leveled charges against nearly 40 Illinoisans and more than 1,000 people nationwide.
