Still No Plea for Woman Charged in UConn Lecture Hall Brawl

VERNON/STORRS, CT – The woman accused of taking a conservative speaker's his notes from a podium and sparking a brawl inside a University of Connecticut lecture hall in late November has yet to enter a plea in her criminal case, a clerk at the court said Wedneaday

A clerk at Rockville Superior Court courthouse said 33-year-old Catherine Gregory is due back before a judge on Jan. 31 after a quick appearance on Tuesday. She is free on a $1,000 non-surety bond.

She has not yet entered a plea, the clerk said.

The speaker, Lucian Wintrich, is a political artist and commentator and the White House correspondent for a web entity called The Gateway Pundit. The Nov. 28 speech, sponsored by campus Republicans, was entitled, "It's Okay to be White."

Surveillance video shows Wintrich speaking and a female approaching the podium and removing something, which Wintrich said was the only hard copy of his notes.
The video then shows him following her into the crowd, seeming to aggressively retrieve the paper and a scuffle ensued involving multiple people.

The hall was then cleared by police.

In a warrant police said Gregory had been heckling Wintrich during the speech with others at the Andre Schenker Lecture Hall.
