The man who sat and put his feet up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Wednesday to four and a half years in prison.
Richard Barnett, 63, had been convicted on numerous felony and misdemeanor charges earlier this year.
He faced a maximum sentence of 47 years in prison, though prosecutors only argued for a seven-year term. The longest prison sentence imposed on a Jan. 6 rioter so far is 14 years.
