Kentucky Woman Who Assaulted DC Police Caught By Feds
By Caleb Newton -February 19, 2022
Kentucky resident Shelly Stallings has become one of the latest individuals to be arrested for participating in last year’s attack on the Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump, and she is now facing charges that could land her up to 20 years or more in prison if found guilty. Her charges — which were included in a superseding indictment in a case that previously included two other defendants, including her husband, and now has four co-defendants — include assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon and civil disorder, both of which are felony offenses. That specific form of the assault on police charge comes with a potential sentence of up to 20 years in jail if found guilty, and civil disorder carries a potential sentence of up to 8 years — and Stallings’s charges go on from there.
Interestingly, Peter J. Schwartz — Stallings’s husband — was arrested over a year ago at this point, not long after the riot originally took place. It’s now been over 13 months since the attack on the Capitol, and the continuing stream of arrests indicates how federal prosecutors are not just letting this matter go. According to the Justice Department, “All four defendants [in Stallings’s case] are accused of spraying a chemical irritant, pepper spray, at a line of police officers attempting to secure the area of the Lower West Terrace of the Capitol Building.” Over 235 individuals among the hundreds and hundreds who have been arrested in connection to the Capitol riot have been specifically accused of assaulting or impeding police in some form, and when Trump offers his attempted excuses for what went on at the Capitol, these hundreds of assaults on law enforcement are among what his enablers are sweeping aside — or at least trying to.
