Kentucky Woman Who Assaulted DC Police Finally Caught and Arrested by Feds
More than a year after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, a Kentucky woman was been arrested on charges that she used pepper spray on police who were securing the area.
Shelly Stallings, 42, was arrested Wednesday in connection with the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, where lawmakers were certifying the results of the presidential election, WLKY reports. Stallings was charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon, civil disorder, and entering and remaining in a restricting building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon. That’s according to an update from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
Federal investigators said Stallings and another person, Markus Maly, of Virginia were named as defendants in an indictment handed down that also included two other defendants, including Peter Schwartz, Stallings’ husband.
Schwartz and Stallings, along with the other two individuals who have been indicted all face charges of using pepper spray on a line of officers who were trying to secure a part of the lower west terrace of the Capitol building, according to investigators.

Schwartz and two of the other individuals had earlier pleaded not guilty. Stallings was due in court last week in the Western District of Kentucky. She remains free on a $25,000 unsecured bond. Schwartz is a convicted felon and has remained in jail since his arrest last February. A video allegedly shows him dousing police officers with pepper spray as they were guarding Congress. At one point he was also seen wielding a club near the entrance. And in a new video, Stallings, wearing a green plaid coat, can be seen standing by his side and using pepper spray on the same officers.

I wonder if Donald Trump knows how hard this woman and her husband worked to try and overturn the election and if he stays awake at night worrying about their welfare since did so much for him?

No, of course not.
Let’s hope these two are provided with the jail time they need to perhaps rethink their political status.
