'Just Shocked': A Town Reckons With Charges In Capitol Riot

WOODSTOCK, Ohio (AP) - The tiny town of Woodstock, Ohio, was the base for two people who allegedly played big roles in the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

Residents are still trying to understand how that happened in their don't blink-or-you'll-miss-it, one-stoplight burg.

It's the now-shuttered Jolly Roger Bar & Grill that brought the FBI and other investigators to Woodstock in western Ohio.

Federal authorities say Army veteran Jessica Watkins tended the bar and recruited members for a local militia group she has said she founded in 2019 and commanded.

She and group member Donovan Crowl are now facing years behind prison bars.
