Federal prosecutors filed criminal cases against five people associated with the Proud Boys group, including two Tucson siblings, in connection with the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Cory Konold and his sister, Felicia Konold were arrested on Thursday in Arizona. They have been charged with conspiracy, civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds, without lawful authority (with 1752(b)(1)(A) enhancement), and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
According to the probable cause affidavit, the Konolds were part of the group that breached the Capitol.
Felicia Konold later bragged about the incident in a Snapchat post, and said she had been recruited into a Kansas City chapter of the Proud Boys. The affidavit reads in part:
Additionally, in a video from the SNAPCHAT ACCOUNT, a woman’s voice (Felicia) celebrated that she had just been “recruited into a fucking chapter from Kansas City.” In the post, the woman claimed that she had been told that even though she was not from Kansas City, she was “with them now.” During the video post, the speaker displayed a two-sided “challenge coin” that appears to have markings that designate it as belonging to the Kansas City Proud Boys.
