LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Two California women who allegedly flew from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., to participate in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol are facing federal charges Thursday, according to court papers.
Kennedy Lindsey and Danielle Lacy — whose ages and hometown were not immediately available — both illegally entered the Capitol during the riot, according to an FBI affidavit filed in federal court in the District of Columbia.
Lindsey entered the building by jumping through a broken window, while Lacy entered through one of the Capitol’s principal entrances, federal prosecutors allege.
Lindsey allegedly was found carrying a cache of weapons, including a sword, a steel whip, pepper spray, a taser and a knife, into the Capitol building, the document states.
In the 43 months since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 1,488 people have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol, including nearly 550 individuals charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The investigation remains ongoing.
