The mother of Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot while participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was arrested Friday afternoon for blocking traffic near the Capitol.
Micki Witthoeft, 58, is charged with blocking and obstructing roadways, U.S. Capitol Police said.
A group of demonstrators that didn’t have a permit to demonstrate on Capitol grounds Friday blocked traffic on Independence Avenue SW and First Street SW before 2 p.m., police said.
Police created a line to stop the group from advancing and warned they would be arrested if they failed to clear the roadway, police said.
Witthoeft refused and asked to be arrested, police said. She was arrested, processed and released with a citation to appear in court at a future date.
