A Florida woman who was inside the U.S. Capitol building during the Jan. 6, 2021, riots and later boasted to a relative that she “f—— stormed the capital” and was “proud of it” is going to prison.

Anna Lichnowski, 37, was sentenced to 45 days in jail, three years probation, $5,000 in fines, and 200 hours of community service. She was found guilty in July of trespassing, disorderly conduct and picketing in the Capitol building after a three-day bench trial by U.S. District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton, a George W. Bush appointee.

The day after she was sentenced, Lichnowski posted her punishment on X for misdemeanors that “I did not commit.” At the bottom of the post, she added, “Silver lining: Won free Caps tickets,” with a selfie in her hockey jersey.

She was among the crowd attending Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6. After the rally, she went to the Capitol, up a staircase to the Upper Terrace and into the building through the Senate Wing doors just before 3 p.m., court documents said. Inside, she took a selfie and went with the crowd to the Crypt. In the Crypt, she sat in front of the New Jersey statue before an officer asked her to move, and she ultimately exited the building around 3:30 p.m.
