(SEATTLE) A couple from Puyallup have become that latest Washington charged during the January 6th 2021 insurrection at the U-S Capitol.
The official charges are illegally entering and engaging in disruptive behavior.
Scott and Holly Christensen will enter their pleas to the charges Thursday in federal court. If found guilty, they could face fines of up to 100-GRAND and up to a year in prison.
The couple was seen in the Capitol Rotunda as they walked directly into a shot being captured by MSNBC. Scott Christenson was also captured by a police officer’s body cam…telling the officer “Dude, I’m from Seattle, we invented this stuff.” It was a likely reference to the infamous protests and demonstrations experienced here.
At one point Scott Christensen asked another officer “Which amendment are you protecting now?”
The Times reports FBI agents talked to Scott Christensen’s former supervisor at a real estate company, who confirmed Scott Christensen had attended the “Stop the Steal” rally, and video posted on the social media site “Parler” allegedly shows the couple marching near the Washington Monument.
That video has since been pulled off the site.
