Chicago man who stole items from Pelosi’s office during U.S. Capitol assault gets 51 months in prison
A mob supporting U.S. President Donald Trump breaks into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 in Washington.
He called the riot an “ revolution” as he ascended stairs to the Capitol’s Senate Wing doors, court records show. Once inside, the man goaded politicians hiding nearby while sharing chants with the mob. He saw a gray, wool coat hanging from a coat rack as a news show on a television screen covered the mob storming the Capitol.According to court records, he reached into the coat’s pockets and pulled out a brown, leather wallet belonging to one of Pelosi’s staffers. The wallet contained about $50, a TSA PreCheck card, two bank cards and a driver’s license. Lyons never returned it, according to the statement.
Agents then confronted him with a photo he’d posted to Instagram and then deleted showing the nameplate outside Pelosi’s office.
