A Chicago woman was arrested this week on charges alleging she entered the U.S. Capitol with a relative shortly after rioters breached a Senate wing door and later tried to get back in the building before being turned away by police.
Trudy Castle, 57, who works as a property manager for a downtown real estate company, was arrested by federal agents Wednesday on a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Washington charging her with misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and unlawfully entering a restricted government building.
She appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Heather McShain on Wednesday. Details of the hearing were not listed on the court docket as of Thursday morning, and it was not known if Castle had hired a lawyer.
