Prosecutors say Barbara Balmaseda of Miami Lakes, Florida was captured on CCTV footage "entering the Capital building via the Senate Wing door at approximately 2:16 p.m., just four minutes after rioters initially breached the building," according to a release by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. "According to the allegations, when Balmaseda entered the building, broken glass was scattered on the ground, and an alarm blared near the doorway.
"After entering the Capitol, Balmaseda made her way toward the Crypt and pushed her way to the front of a crowd of rioters who were confronting a police line. The mob eventually overran the police line and proceeded into the Crypt.
It continued: "Balmaseda moved forward, joined a crowd of rioters, and headed towards an area known as the 'OAP Corridor,' where another line of officers initially blocked a hallway. The officers eventually backed away, and the rioters, including Balmaseda, continued to move forward."
