Florida Woman Assaulted U.S. Capitol Sergeant With a Flagpole and Threatened Nancy Pelosi on Jan....

Lock her up

“Tell Pelosi we are coming for that bitch,” Southard-Rumsey allegedly shouted at police, using the same barnyard epithet for the Democratic Party’s California-based leader as her fellow alleged rioter Richard “Bigo” Barnett is said to have scrawled on a note at her desk.

Arrested on Wednesday, Southard-Rumsey adds to the growing list of those accused of attacking police with fists, poles, and chemical spray on Jan. 6th. The count stood at an estimated 139 assaults on law enforcement last week.

More than 125 people have been charged to date with assaulting or impeding law enforcement, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.

The FBI’s affidavit alleges that a flagpole was Southard-Rumsey’s weapon of choice.

“At some point during Sgt. V.’s interaction with Southard-Rumsey, she obtained a flagpole which she held in her hands and pressed against his chest,” an agent’s affidavit states, shielding the name of the U.S. Capitol Police sergeant. “Once Southard-Rumsey had the flagpole on Sgt. V.’s chest, she did not remove it and he felt pressure from it. Southard-Rumsey was the only one holding onto the flagpole. When the second agitator of the group yelled ‘Let’s go,’ Southard-Rumsey started pushing Sgt. V. with the flagpole and drove him back into the first set of doors leading onto the House floor. When Sgt. V. hit the doors, the doors flew open and he was pushed into the Lafayette marble statue striking the back left side of his head on the base of the statue. Sgt. V. felt like he was being trampled during the ordeal.”
