Lyons filmed as he walked around then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, where he stole a wallet and a photo of her with late U.S. Rep. John Lewis.
A Chicago man has been sentenced to more than four years in prison after he was convicted of multiple charges for his, when he stole a wallet and a photo of the late Congressman John Lewis from the office of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The FBI was led to Lyons after investigating his social media accounts, which included several pictures of him in body armor holding guns. Lyons said he"100% guaranteed, without incriminating himself," that he saw nothing being dragged from the Capitol. When asked if he would give FBI agents a copy of the video, he said the file would be too big and instead offered to upload the videos to YouTube and email the links, the complaint said.
But he said while walking along Pennsylvania Avenue, he heard"flash bangs" and saw people walking toward him with red faces, the complaint said. He said the crowd pushed toward the Capitol building, and there was not much he could do to escape because he only weighed 140 pounds, the complaint said.

Abbe Lowell, one of the younger Biden's lawyers, cited past examples when Trump's language allegedly inspired violence, notably the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol, the October attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi, and the man arrested near the Obamas' Washington, D.C., residence last month with an arsenal of firearms. 'This is not a false alarm,' Lowell wrote.
