A Colorado Springs woman pleaded guilty to being involved in January 6 Capitol Insurrection
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- A woman arrested in Colorado Springs has pleaded guilty in federal court for her role in the Capitol Insurrection.
Court records show she did that to avoid jail time.
Lisa Homer was arrested after authorities identified her wearing a hat that said "lions not sheep" during the insurrection. In court records, investigators revealed postings showing her affiliation and support for the right-wing group Proud Boys.
She was charged in DC's federal court and pleaded guilty back in July.
As part of her plea deal, Homer agreed to let law enforcement review any social media accounts operated by her for statements and postings made on and around Jan. 6, 2021. She also agreed to allow law enforcement to conduct interviews with her about the events on that date prior to sentencing.
She was sentenced on August 9 to 36 months of probation which will be served in Colorado and a five thousand dollar fine. According to the plea agreement, the riot caused more than $2 million in damage to the U.S. Capitol. Homer was ordered to pay $500 in restitution to the Architect of the Capitol.
