At around 7:15 p.m. last Wednesday, on the night of the riots, Georgia was reportedly among a group outside in violation of the District’s 6:00 p.m. curfew that had been established earlier that day to stop the chaos caused by the pro-Trump mafia.
When officers gave the group multiple warnings to disperse, Georgia and her group allegedly refused, according to the documents. They were later arrested as a result.
