SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri teacher has been charged for her alleged role in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in January. Federal prosecutors this week charged Kelsey Leigh Ann Wilson with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building. The 29-year-old Springfield resident was arrested Wednesday but released without bail on the condition that she promise to show up for future court hearings. The Kansas City Star reports she’s a new teacher at Dayspring Christian School in Springfield but expected to be fired following her arrest. Her federal public defender declined to comment Saturday to The Associated Press.
