Woman admits to role in Capitol riot days after crash arrest

SULLIVAN, Mo. (AP) – A Missouri woman who was photographed last year carrying a wooden name plate torn from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for her role in the insurrection.

The Kansas City Star reports that 22-year-old Emily Hernandez was also ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation and substance abuse treatment because of a recent deadly crash.

Hernandez, of Sullivan, entered the guilty plea Monday to entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds during a video conference.
