She was spotted in photos and videos breaking into the United States Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021, and stealing Pelosi’s laptop before later disposing of it, FBI officials previously said.
She was arrested Jan. 18, and later indicted on the charges obstructing an official proceeding; assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers; theft of government property; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricting building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a capitol building; and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a capitol building, according to court records.
Williams has remained confined to house arrest since January 21, 2021, with exceptions only for work, school, health treatment, attorney visits and court obligations, PennLive reports.
This RenFaire request was her second filing during the week of August 14 through 20, outlets say.
Earlier in the week, Judge Amy Jackson denied Williams’ request to transfer her trial out of Washington, D.C. back to central Pennsylvania, after she feared the jury would not be impartial.
“The defendant appears to know little about the city or its people, and she relies on a flawed survey and mere assumptions and generalizations about the jury pool,” Jackson said according to the outlets.
Riley Williams' request to attend the Pennsylvania Renaissance Fair was approved for August 21, 2022 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., CBS21 reports citing updated court documents.
