The Pennsylvania woman who was charged with theft, after stealing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop during the Capitol Hill riot, has been granted permission to leave her house arrest to attend a Renaissance Fair.
Riley Williams, 25, has been detained at her home for the last year and a half since her arrest in the Capitol riot case.
This weekend, she’ll have the chance to dress in medieval cosplay in the eight hours she’s been given to attend the fair in Lancaster County.
“She is confined to her home 24/7 with exceptions. Every once in a while, if there is an activity that interests her, we ask if she can attend,” Williams’ attorney, Lori Ulrich said.
Ulrich claims prosecutors usually grant Williams’ requests to go out for a day sporadically and have permitted similar outings in the past.
Williams was arrested on Jan. 18 after photos showed her snatching the computer during the Jan. 6 riots. She later bragged online about stealing it.
“I STOLE S–T FROM NANCY POLESI,” she allegedly wrote in one message on Discord, according to the federal complaint.
“I DON’T CARE… I TOOK NANCY POLESI’S HARD DRIVES… I DON’T CARE KILL ME,” said another message, the complaint said.
The FBI has also investigated allegations that Williams sought to sell the laptop to Russia.
To date, at least 895 people have been arrested in connection with the Capitol riot.
Great message.
Steal from the government and brag about it and don’t worry, you can get out and socialize…
W….T….F…..?
So, 895 peaceful protesters exercising their 1st amendment rights have been arrested and illegally denied due process for over a year and a half, and how many extremely violent, dangerous and criminal Antifa and BLM terrorists have been incarcerated for the last year and a half, placed in solitary, abused by guards and denied their constitutional rights for the unmitigated looting, arson, destruction of multiple federal buildings and businesses, in addition to committing 28 MURDERS during the entire year of 2020 which the anti-American Left advocated, encouraged and untruthfully barked were protected by the same 1st amendment? Corrupt, partisan and illegal actions by Harris, Biden, FBI, DOJ, dem mayors and governors of pure blue cities and states! The time to pay for their treason and crimes from 2020 is fast approaching folks!!!
What riot? There was the lefts riot of beaten people and burning cars and buildings in June or July in DC. Why no hearings on that? I know its the democrats right to be violent.
The prosecuter is a typical liberasl scum, with all the wrong doing’s of the Democrats, the rule of law is dead.
