Judge denies request to lift restrictions of Pennsylvania woman involved in January 6 riot
MECHANICSBURG (KDKA) - A judge has refused to lift restrictions for a Mechanicsburg woman accused of stealing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's laptop during the January 6 riots at the Capitol.
23-year-old Riley Williams had requested for some of the conditions of her release to be lifted, including home detention, wearing an ankle monitor, and limited usage of electronics.
Her lawyer argued the requirements were "unduly burdensome."
A judge said that Williams is not fully compliant with the terms of her release and is considered to be a flight risk.
She is expected to go to trial next year.
