NY Mother, Son Helped Steal Pelosi's Laptop On Jan. 6: Police

WATERTOWN, NY — A New York mother and her son have been arrested after police said the duo took part in storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and aided in the theft of a laptop computer used by staff of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Maryann Mooney-Rondon, 55, and her son, Rafael Rondon, 23, of Watertown, New York, were arrested Friday, according to FBI documents. The pair face multiple charges in connection to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, including theft of government property, entering a restricted building, and disorderly conduct.

Mooney-Rondon allegedly admitted to being in the Capitol the day of the riot as well as Pelosi’s conference room, according to a report by The Associated Press. She allegedly provided gloves or a scarf to a man so he could steal the laptop without leaving fingerprints, authorities said.

Rafael Rondon is also charged with possession of an unregistered sawed-off shotgun. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Last week's arrests came after the FBI mistakenly raided a home in Alaska in an attempt to locate the missing computer.

The warrant, obtained by the AP, identified Marilyn Hueper of Homer, Alaska, as the woman who took the laptop.

While Hueper and her husband were in Washington, D.C., for Donald Trump's rally on Jan. 6, she told the AP in an earlier report that the woman who had been inside the Capitol was not her — she was just wearing her same coat and had a similar hairstyle.

Since Jan. 6, more than 600 people from 40 states have been arrested and charged in connection with the Capitol attack. A list of arrests is available on the U.S. Department of Justice's website.
