In charging documents filed in federal court, prosecutors included photographs showing Ms. Watkins in and around the Capitol among a group of several people all wearing camouflaged combat attire. A federal grand jury later returned an indictment charging Ms. Watkins and two co-defendants Thomas Edward Caldwell and Donovan Ray Crowl on counts including conspiring to obstruct Congress. Six others have since been indicted in the case. Prosecutors allege the nine co-defendants have confirmed or alleged ties to the Oath Keepers, “a large but loosely organized collection of militia.” Ms. Watkins has been described by the U.S. Department of Justice in court filings as belonging to the Ohio State Regular Militia as well as being a “confirmed dues-paying member” of the Oath Keepers.
