A cellphone is what helped federal agents confirm a Novant Health security guard’s involvement in the attack on the U.S. Capitol in January, according to unsealed documents.
Six people, including Laura Steele of Thomasville, linked to the far-right Oath Keepers militia group were indicted in February on charges that they planned and coordinated with one another in the attack on the U.S. Capitol, authorities said.
NC DPS confirms Laura Steele is a registered armed security guard with Novant Health. She has been a PPSB registrant since 2018 and has no disciplinary history with the PPSB. The Board can suspend/revoke a license or registration for violating the Private Protective Services Act. https://t.co/3IDFpMefAq Michael Stolp (@StolpWSOC9) February 22, 2021
