A member of the Air National Guard took leave from work to participate in the Capitol riot, police say

A member of the West Virginia Air National Guard took a leave from work so she could attend the Capitol riot last year, according to court documents filed Friday. 

A criminal complaint filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia said Jamie Lynn Ferguson, 44, was “confirmed” to be on leave from January 5 to January 7. She indicated in her leave notice that she’d be traveling to Washington, DC, the site of the Capitol riot, during that time. 

The Capitol riot left five people, including one police officer, dead. Members of the Proud Boys, which is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, were present, a Vice reporter tweeted.
