Investigators say multiple videos show Virginia Jenny Spencer inside the Capitol building on January 6.

PILOT MOUNTAIN, N.C. — WARNING: Graphic language in court document

The FBI has filed federal court documents with evidence a Pilot Mountain woman took part in the Capitol riot on January 6.

The record reveals Virginia Jenny Spencer is the wife of Christopher Spencer who was arrested last month.

Investigators said there are multiple videos showing the couple walking through the Capitol. They add that Jenny Spencer "indicated she could not get away because she was afraid of being trampled...she said she then saw police officers in riot gear and went out the first exit."

However, the FBI agent said, "the Spencers do not appear to be actively searching for exits during these videos, instead [they] join in with the chanting."

The FBI said the video shows during the time inside the Capitol, Spencer's husband says, "Wooh! We in," and then starts chanting "Whose House? Our House!"

The FBI specifies the couple "traveled to DC as part of a caravan organized by ENoCH." "ENoCH" is A Twitter personality linked to organizing the event at the Capitol, according to the FBI. 

Spencer is charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority. She's also charged with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

She appeared in court Monday morning in Durham.
