The FBI has arrested a Pennsylvania woman accused of using a bullhorn to direct rioters during the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to NBC News.
Rachel, a mother of eight from Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania, turned herself in on Thursday, NBC News reports. She was transferred to Butler County Prison at around 1 a.m. on Friday. Agents reportedly executed a search warrant at her home hours before she surrendered. Sandy Lake sits about 65 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Prosecutors say Rachel faces several charges, including obstruction, depredation of government property, entering a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon, entering restricted building or grounds, and violent entry or disorderly conduct. These are allegations, and she is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Before the arrest, the FBI shared photos of a woman in a pink hat and a black jacket with a fur lined hood and asked the public to help identify her, referring tipsters to photograph 110 on its Capitol tip page.
According to the affidavit, videos from that day show the woman using a battering ram on windows and using a bullhorn to guide others. The affidavit says she can be heard telling rioters they had “another window to break.”
Rachel was scheduled to appear in court Friday afternoon. No public statement from her was included in the reports at the time of this story.
