Ottawa police say the woman who stood on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the first day of the trucker protest is not associated with the Freedom Convoy truckers. Police say she is unlikely to re-offend and won’t be charged.
“A woman who resides out of province was identified. She was spoken to, showed remorse for her actions and police are confident she will not re-offend,” says an email statement from the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) on April 29.
The OPS said because no criminal charges were laid, her name won’t be released.
Video footage of the incident on Jan. 29 shows the woman with a white winter jacket, black snow pants, and a toque standing atop the Tomb with a cup in her hand and yelling “Freedom!”
