It's hard to keep a good woman down

A Pennsylvania woman married to a member of an FBI task force has been charged in the Capitol riot.

Jennifer Heinl, 55, of Ross Township was arrested Thursday and charged with several federal crimes, including violent entry and disorderly conduct. 

Her husband, Michael Heinl, is a detective in the Shaler Police Department and part of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in Pittsburgh. 

Heinl did not support his wife’s actions and is a “valued member” of his department, Police Chief Sean Frank told WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh. Heinl filed divorce papers a month after the riot.
