The beaming blond man depicted in a viral photo carrying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern during the storming of the US Capitol is a dad of five from Florida with a history of cocaine and marijuana arrests, according to records and reports. 

The diehard President Trump supporter, whose image has been turned into a variety of memes about the attempted insurrection, has been identified as Adam Johnson, 36, of Parrish — a small unincorporated area about 40 miles south of Tampa, the Bradenton Herald reported

An acquaintance of the man confirmed his identity to the outlet, it reported. 

Johnson was captured in a blue Trump hat and an American flag scarf smiling and waving at Getty Images photographer Win McNamee — who snapped the pic — as he carried the lectern bearing the official seal of the speaker of the House.

Behind him, thousands of rioters were ransacking the Capitol after overtaking police and breaking windows to breach the famed dome during a joint session of Congress to certify Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden. 

Soon after Johnson’s photo went viral, local residents were quick to identify him. They told the outlet the rioter is a dad of five who lives in the Gulf Coast town with his wife, who is a licensed family medicine doctor, records show. 

Johnson has a long list of run-ins with the law, public records show, including numerous marijuana arrests and one felony possession of cocaine arrest from 2005.

Johnson was unable to be reached for comment — phone numbers listed in his and his wife’s name were disconnected.
