1103: Daryl Johnson

Daryl Johnson is one of the January 6th insurrectionists and was sentenced to thirty days in jail for his actions that day. He has since been arrested for secretly recording women at a tanning salon. He was charged with invasion of privacy and interference with official acts.

Allegedly, he put his cell phone on a divider that separated tanning rooms at a tanning business owned by his father, the former mayor of St. Ansgar. The camera was situated so it recorded a woman undressing and using the tanning bed. She didn’t consent. He also resisted allowing the police to seize his phone.

ST. ANSGAR, IOWA -- An Iowa man who was previously convicted - along with his son - for his role in the
January 6th riot in the US Capitol is now accused of using a cell phone to illegally record a woman as she was
changing clothes at a tanning salon.
Daryl Johnson, 52, of St. Ansgar was arrested on January 27th and charged with Invasion of Privacy, according
to court records. An arrest report shows that Johnson was accused of using a chair to position a cell phone on
the 8-foot-tall dividing wall between two rooms at 'iSum 24/7' tanning salon in Clear Lake. The phone was
used to record the woman as she changed her clothes during a tanning session.
Police say Johnson refused to show officers the video content on his phone and resisted attempts to seize it
as evidence. Johnson has already posted bond and been released. He is due in court again on February 15th.
Daryl Johnson and his son, Daniel Johnson, were the first Iowans convicted for their roles in the January 6th
riot in the US Capitol. The elder Johnson was sentenced to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to one felony
count of Civil Disorder. The Johnsons entered the Capitol through a broken window and spent approximately
30 minutes in the building during the 2021 riot.
