A student adviser at a community college faces charges after police said she grabbed the notes of a conservative speaker and sparked chaos on the University of Connecticut campus.
Gregory was arrested on Sunday night and charged with sixth-degree larceny, criminal attempt and disorderly conduct.
She is scheduled to face a judge on Wednesday.
Wintrich, 29, faces breach of peace charges in court on Monday.
The viral video showed him dragging a Gregory to the ground during a college Republicans-sponsored event on Nov. 28.
The whole thing caused an eruption on the Storrs campus which eventually lead to Wintrich’s arrest.
Wintrich said his reaction was completely justified.
He is a writer for a conservative website called the Gateway Pundit. source
He was in the middle of delivering a speech called “It’s OK to be white” when Gregory took the notes.
Since the visit, UConn said it has implemented a stricter vetting process for speaking engagements that could post a safety risk.
Monday will be Wintrich’s first court appearance.
He’s due in Rockville Superior Court.
