Law & Crime reports:
A 27-year-old California woman was arrested in Alabama on Friday in connection with siege of the U.S. Capitol, the Department of Justice said.
The suspect was identified as Stephanie Baez in no small part because she was recorded on Jan. 6 providing her Instagram handle while declaring that she loves the Proud Boys and was hoping to “find a Proud Boy” that day.
According to the FBI, the Baez is the individual seen inside the Capitol Crypt on Jan. 6 wearing a T-shirt with 1984 author George Orwell’s face on it and the words “Boy, did I call it or what?”
