Rachel Marie Powell, 41, a Sandy Lake, Pa., mother of eight, was found guilty Tuesday of nine federal counts linked to her role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the nation’s Capitol.

She is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 17, according to court records.

Powell, who brought her children to court, was tried in May before a federal judge. Videos of the Jan. 6 riot identified Powell as the so-called “pink hat lady” and “bullhorn lady.”

She has been out on a personal recognizance bond.

More than 1,000 people have been charged with crimes related to the Capitol riot. Approximately 100 of them have been convicted by juries or judges. More than 600 others have pleaded guilty.

Powell’s convictions include felony interfering with officers performing their duties and obstruction of official proceedings.

She used a bullhorn to direct rioters attacking the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to keep President Joe Biden out of the White House.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth earlier this year heard testimony without a jury before he convicted Powell of felony charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, siege. Powell was convicted of all nine counts in her indictment.

WHAT OCCURRED

Powell, wearing a distinctive pink hat and fur-lined jacket hoodie, joined a mob of rioters who confronted police officers at bike rack barriers on the west side of the Capitol. She used her back to push against the police line, prosecutors said.

A video captured Powell using a bullhorn to encourage other rioters to “coordinate together if you’re going to take this building.” She also gave them “very detailed instructions” about the layout of the Capitol, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit.

Powell told rioters they had “another window to break.” She herself used an ice-ax and a large pipe to break a window, according to prosecutors.

Powell was charged with civil disorder, obstruction of an official preceding, destruction of government property, entering and remaining in a restricted building with a deadly or dangerous weapon, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building with a deadly or dangerous weapon, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building with a deadly or dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct in the Capitol, act of physical violence on Capitol grounds and parading demonstrating or picketing in the Capitol.

A lawyer for Powell had no comment on the verdict.

A memo submitted to the court by her attorney Nicholas D. Smith, however, had disputed the allegations.

Powell was arrested nearly a month after the riot. FBI agents found several smashed cellphones, gun paraphernalia and other weapons when they searched her home.

Powell played a “leading role” during the riot, a prosecutor said at a February 2021 hearing.

“She is front and center in the incursion,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Aloi added, according to a transcript.

Congress was in the process of certifying the results of the November 2020 election in which President Joe Biden defeated former President Donald Trump.

The indictment stated Powell tried to obstruct, influence and / or impede the official proceeding and she was also accused of damaging property that is a window of the Capitol, causing more than $1,000 worth of damage.
