Ellwood City woman charged in Jan. 6 riots

ELLWOOD CITY, Pa. - A woman from Lawrence county is the latest person from Western Pennsylvania to face federal charges related to her alleged involvement with the riot at the United States Capitol on January 6.
Julia Jeanette Sizer of Ellwood City, PA surrendered Thursday morning after being accused of being a part of a mob of pro-Trump demonstrators who breached the Capitol while Congress was certifying the results of the 2020 election, seeking to overthrow the results.
On January 7, 2021 a tip about Sizer was submitted to the FBI National Threat of Operations Center after Sizer shared a video of herself inside the Capitol on January 6.
According to the criminal complaint, when Sizer was first contacted on January 29, 2021 about her attendance at the Capitol, she initially denied being there.
After being shown video that appeared to show Sizer inside the Capitol in March, the complaint says she changed her story and admitted it was her.
CCTV footage revealed a woman prosecutors say was Sizer entering the Capitol approximately 8 minutes after the initial surge into the building. The woman was not seen taking anything from the building, causing any damage to the Capitol or causing any physical harm to anyone within the Capitol.
Sizer is currently being charged with Knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a capitol building and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building.
Sizer can be seen holding her cellphone and wearing a distinctive "Trump" hat.
