Federal authorities have accused a Missouri woman of storming the US Capitol and posing with speaker Nancy Pelosi’s name tag during the riot.
At least three tipsters identified Emily Hernandez, of Sullivan, Missouri, with the FBI as the woman featured in videos and photos holding Pelosi’s wooden sign in the Capitol on Jan. 6, according to a criminal complaint.
Hernandez is apparently seen in an ITV News video wearing sunglasses and a gray winter hat wearing the name tag and surrounded by other supporters of President Trump, the complaint states.
A tipster sent the FBI a photo from Hernandez’s Facebook page showing that she was in the Capitol. A second tipster shared a screenshot from Hernandez’s Snapchat that appeared to show she was under the Capitol dome, the complaint alleges.
Hernandez has not yet been arrested. She is charged with unlawful entry, disorderly or disruptive behavior, and stealing federal property, the FBI said.
Authorities say more than 120 people have been arrested in connection with the Capitol riot, which killed five people, including a Capitol police officer.
