Micki Witthoeft, the mother of Ashli Babbit, who was shot by police during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, was arrested on Friday afternoon during a demonstration marking the two-year anniversary of the event, according to police.
Witthoeft, 58, is being accused of traffic violations, according to U.S. Capitol Police, who said she was taken into custody but later released on Friday.
Officials said that Witthoeft and a group of other demonstrators were walking on a street by the Capitol when police told the group to move off of the road.
