Mercer Co. woman faces up to 47 years in prison for attack on US - WFMJ.com News weather sports for Youngstown-Warren Ohio

In the U.S. District Court, Western District Court of Pennsylvania, Magistrate Judge Patricia Dodge ordered Sandy Lake resident Rachel Powell, charged with multiple accounts including obstruction, destruction of US property over $1,000, entering a restricted building or property with a dangerous weapon, entering a restricted building/property, and disorderly conduct, held until her detention hearing Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 2:30 p.m.

According to an affidavit, during national news coverage of the capitol riot on Jan. 6 in Washington D.C., the video footage showed a woman in a pink hat, a black jacket with a fur-lined hoodie using a bullhorn telling others how to gain control of the Capitol. Investigators say they later identified the woman as Powell.

Once inside, the affidavit says Powell was seen using the bullhorn to give instructions about the layout of the building and instructing others on how to "take this building." She also noted that they “have another window to break," according to the affidavit.

The 40-year old Powell faces a maximum sentence of 47 years in prison for the charges, maximum fines of up to $600,000, and up to seven years supervised release.

The obstruction charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years, $250,000 fines, and 3 years supervised release; destruction of US property over $1,000, 10 years maximum, $250,000 maximum fine, 3 years supervised release; entering a restricted building or property with a dangerous weapon 10 years, entering a restricted building/property one year, and disorderly conduct carries a maximum sentence of 6 months, $100,000 fine and one year supervised release.

The case was continued as Powell's attorney Michael Engle was not able to reach his client who is being held in the Butler County Prison on charges filed in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

FBI agents were in Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania, on Feb. 4 searching Powell's home.
