A woman who allegedly roamed the Capitol on Jan. 6 for 40 minutes, was caught on video by a Proud Boy livestreamer and then spotted on Capitol surveillance footage making her way into multiple rooms — including hideaway offices of U.S. senators — all while clutching a Coca-Cola before she left to disrupt police overwhelmed outside, has been arrested.

But Sandra “Sandy” Lee Hodges wanted the FBI to know during her interview with them last April, she was “swallowed by the crowd” and “sucked into the building,” an FBI statement of facts reviewed on Thursday by Law&Crime shows.

Hodges faces four criminal charges including entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building; disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; and parading, picketing or demonstrating in a Capitol building. An arrest warrant was issued on Jan. 26 in Hertford, North Carolina, and she was arrested Thursday.

All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

For the North Carolina woman, it was a series of errors that helped investigators identify her.
