South Jersey Woman In DC Riot Video Arrested: Reports

BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ – A Burlington County woman who was captured on video encouraging rioters to storm the capitol in D.C. has reportedly been arrested.

Stephanie Hazleton, of Medford, was arrested in connection with the riots in the nation’s Capitol on Jan. 6, according to CBS 3 and The Philadelphia Inquirer. She was scheduled to appear in court on Friday. The charges against her were not specified.

Hazleton, also known as Ayla Wolf, appeared in a video that was released last week. She told a Patch reporter she had been gassed and was telling the other people who were outside the capitol to keep going. When offered water, she told the other members of the mob, “"I have to get back in there. … Keep going, keep pushing."

At one point, she told the others, "We need helmets." The video doesn't show her participating in any violence, and it isn't clear if she ever made it inside the building. Read more here: Video Shows Burlington County Woman Amid D.C. Riots

Hazleton, in her 30s, is an outspoken Trump supporter and conservative activist. In the past year, she has participated in "more than 60" rallies across New Jersey, some in support of Trump, others protesting the lockdowns and some a combination of both. She was one of the people who rallied outside Atilis Gym in Bellmawr for days, and she was charged by police there with organizing a protest.

She told Patch she was at the rally Trump held before protesters marched to the capitol over unsubstantiated claims that Trump was rightfully elected, and the election was "stolen" from the voters. She said she doesn't think he incited violence that day.
