More Springfieldians charged with crimes in connection with January 6 insurrection than any other Missouri city

For once, Kansas City and St. Louis find themselves looking up at Springfield, but that is not a good thing.

KY3 reports that more Springfield residents, seven of them, have been indicted for crimes in connection with the January 6 insurrection at the nation's capital. Five St. Louis residents and two from Kansas City have been indicted.

Of the seven, five have pleaded guilty and await sentencing.

The other two pleaded not guilty with their case described in the KY3 report:

Battlefield’s Cara Hentschel and Springfield’s Mahailya Pryer, have pleaded not guilty to four charges each of being in the Capitol. The FBI identified them from Facebook photos and U.S. Capitol surveillance video footage which allegedly shows them in the Rotunda together. Hentschel also had several Facebook posts where she mentioned being in the Capitol including one that said, “I was the first group in. Yes. We storm peloskis (sic) office and took her beer. She drinks Corona.”
