Florida man photographed carrying the House speaker's lectern and waving during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol pleaded guilty to a federal misdemeanor Monday, according to court records.
The man, Adam Johnson, 36, pleaded guilty to a count of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, records show.
A plea agreement estimates sentencing guidelines of up to six months in prison on the misdemeanor charge.
Johnson admitted in court documents that he entered the Capitol after a pro-Trump mob attacked the building and police and that he found the lectern with the House speaker’s seal near a staircase and carried it off "because he believed it would make a good prop for a picture."
The photograph made him one of the most recognizable people in the riot.

I was wondering what happened to "Lecturn Man."
Do you think 6 months in prison is enough time?
