Adams Johnson’s defense attorney declined to comment on the party and said Johnson “is not interested in speaking to the media.”
Adam Johnson, of Parrish, Florida, carried House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern through the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. BRADENTON, Fla. — Before surrendering to serve 75 days in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection of the U.S. Capitol, including taking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern, Adam Johnson is hosting a “going to prison” party.
Last month, Senior U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton sentenced Johnson to 75 days in federal prison, with credit for time he has already served. Following his release, Johnson will be on probation for one year, have to complete 200 hours of community service, pay a $5,000 fine and pay $500 restitution — his share of the nearly $1.5 million in damage caused at the Capitol.
“I am not trying to shy away from the things I did,” Johnson said at the sentencing. “I am not trying to shy away from being guilty.” “You seemed to have thought it was a fun event to be involved in. I don’t understand that mentality and to come to Washington, D.C., and to destroy a monument of our democracy, I find it very, very disturbing,” Walton said at the time.
