TAMPA, Fla. — Adam Johnson, the man seen carrying the lectern of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the U.S. Capitol riot, was released from jail Monday.

Johnson, 36, of Parrish, Florida, for his release signed a $25,000 signature bond, which he does not have to pay unless he fails to show up at his next court appearance.

Snip

Judge Christopher Tuite ordered Johnson to surrender his passport, submit to substance abuse tests, surrender all firearms and wear a tracking device. Under the terms of his release, he would not be allowed to travel outside the Middle District of Florida, unless it's to Washington, D.C., for court cases.

Johnson also would have a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.

More at link. One of his lawyers said his client wants privacy, the other said it will be difficult to defend because of the images.

He didn't seem to want privacy when he was ransacking our nation's Capitol building, Aristus Jan 2021 #7
Exactly my thought! SheltieLover Jan 2021 #11
If he jumps bail, he's out $25,000. Which I'm betting, Aristus Jan 2021 #12
His wife is a doctor and was bringing the money home Hav Jan 2021 #14
Oh, that's right. Aristus Jan 2021 #15
