A Central Florida woman has been sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison for her involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol. Leslie Gray, 57, traveled from St. Cloud to Washington D.C. to participate in protests against the certification of the Electoral College votes for the 2020 presidential election. Gray joined a mob gathered at the East side of the Capitol, pushing past barricades and ignoring U.S. Capitol Police orders to stop. She live-streamed her activities on Facebook, calling police "commies" and encouraging others to push back against them. Gray continued to film herself inside the Capitol, stating "I am in Congress. This is our house." She was forcibly removed from the building after refusing to leave. Once outside, she declared on her live stream, "We stormed the Capitol today...American patriots stormed the Capitol today. I am an American patriot. I stormed the Capitol today." Gray was arrested in Florida in June 2022 and pleaded guilty to a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding on June 1, 2023. In addition to her prison sentence, she will serve 12 months of supervised release, pay $2,000 in restitution, and a $100 special assessment.
