Case Summary
In March, an anonymous tip submitted to the FBI identified Amy Schubert and her husband to have been inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to court documents. Schubert is seen on footage taken within the building, wearing a black jacket with the text "Plumbers & Pipefitters Local Union 422 Joliet IL" on the back, court documents say. A federal magistrate judge authorized a search warrant for her email account that reportedly showed she was present inside the Capitol on that day. A neighbor told a local CBS station that the Crest Hill, Ill., couple had posted Trump signs on public property multiple times. Schubert was released on bond.
Case History
Schubert pleaded Guilty to one charge: Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building. The other charges are dismissed. Sentenced 3/8/2022 to 18 months of probation; $2,000 fine; $500 restitution; $10 special assessment; and 100 hours of community service. Schubert received a full pardon on January 20, 2025
