Florida Vocal Coach Sentenced to 6 Years for Capitol Riot Assault

Audrey Ann Southard-Rumsey, a vocal coach from Florida, has been sentenced to six years in prison for physically attacking police during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. She delivered a rambling diatribe in court, expressing her grievances and claiming that her life had been ruined because of differing political views. Southard-Rumsey was found guilty on seven felony charges, including assaulting law enforcement and civil disorder. The judge added a terrorism enhancement to meet the requested sentence of 72 months, despite typically handing out shorter sentences to Jan. 6 defendants.
