SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A judge sentenced two Springfield women after pleading guilty for their roles in the January 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.
According to KYTV/KSPR Cara Hentschel and Mahailya Pryer pleaded guilty to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in any of the Capitol building.
They faced three other charges in the incident.
A judge sentenced both to 45 days in custody, 36 months of probation, and a $500 fine.
Federal investigators say a person known to the FBI submitted an online tip stating that Hentschel had posted photographs to her Facebook account depicting her at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The tipster included a link to Hentschel’s Facebook profile but reported not knowing her personally or whether she entered the Capitol.
Agents arrested the couple in the fall of 2021.
