A Miami Lakes woman has been arrested on charges connected to the the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Barbara Balmaseda, 23, is charged with a felony offense of obstruction of an official proceeding, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia said Monday.
She's also charged with misdemeanor offenses of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building or grounds, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.
Prosecutors said Balmaseda traveled from Florida to Washington, D.C., to protest the result of the 2020 presidential election and was caught on camera entering the Capitol building with other rioters.
After entering the Capitol, Balmaseda made her way toward the Crypt and pushed her way to the front of a crowd of rioters who were confronting a police line, prosecutors said. The mob eventually overran the police line and proceeded into the Crypt.
