Woman Accused Of Saying Mob 'Coming For' Pelosi Is Arrested In Assault Of Capitol Cop

A Florida woman accused of pushing down a police sergeant with a flagpole and threatening to hunt down House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) during the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has been arrested.

Audrey Ann Southard-Rumsey, 52, of Spring Hill, was taken into custody Wednesday in Florida. She is facing nine charges that include assaulting a federal officer or employee, obstructing law enforcement during civil disorder, obstruction of justice or Congress, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and engaging in physical violence on Capitol grounds.

She was seen on video pushing against a U.S. Capitol Police sergeant, who said in an interview that she was one of two main agitators in a group at his location in a hallway between Statuary Hall and the Hall of the House of Representatives, an FBI agent wrote in an affidavit signed Tuesday.

Southard-Rumsey reportedly told the sergeant, “Let us though. We have the building already,” before pushing against him with a flagpole until he was driven back into the first set of doors leading to the House floor, the FBI said. The doors flew open and the sergeant was pushed back, striking his head on the base of the marble statue. It wasn’t clear if the unnamed officer was injured.

She is facing nine charges that include *assaulting a federal officer or employee, *obstructing law enforcement during civil disorder,
*obstruction of justice or Congress,
*disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and *engaging in physical violence on Capitol grounds.


Too bad she'll be missing out on that warm Florida sunshine & year round water recreation.
No more MAGA rallies for her!!

pResident and he would pay their legal bills or simply pardon them and giving all of them the medal of honor, or whatever, its just that their plan didn't work.

What is funny, and tragic at the same time, is that the buffoon doesn't care a bit for any of these people, and even if he had gone back to the White House, he most probably would not have moved a finger to get them out of jail.

If any good will come of this is that these idiots kids may realize that actions do have consequences, and you are always better off thinking before you act. I can only hope.

I live near Spring Hill (where she lives). Hernando County is super red. She's a voice instructor, teacher, and has been in several Stage West productions (a tiny community theater), and is a member of the Spring Hill Opera. Had no idea we had an "opera"! If you ever visited Spring Hill, you'd immediately recognize why that's hilarious.
