Williamsport residents face their fate in Capitol insurrection

By Mark Maroney 2 min read

Two Williamsport residents who were charged with being involved in the U.S. Capitol insurrection, after one of them bragged about going inside the federal building on Jan. 6, 2021, are scheduled for a status conference with a Washington, D.C. judge on Jan. 24, according to U.S. Middle District Court records and the FBI.

Mark Roderick Aungst last known, as living in South Williamsport, and Tammy Bronsburg, last know as living in the City of Williamsport, who also is known as Tammy Butry, went to the pro-President Donald J. Trump rally that day with a busload of the former president's supporters.

Trump held the rally before the massive crowd walked down Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to the Capitol and the violence began.

The two Lycoming County residents will be in proceedings held before District Judge Reggie B. Walton. Their next court status is a conference set for 9 a.m. Jan. 24 by telephone.

Aungst allegedly told others that they had been part of the rioting inside the Capitol, according to the FBI's documents.

Bronsburg was allegedly photographed inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 with a Trump flag draped over her shoulders.

This photograph is part of the evidence in FBI documents that allege she was part of the Capitol insurrection.

One of the people on the bus shared that story with a retired Pennsylvania State Police trooper, and the retired officer informed the FBI, according to federal documents.

The bus witness, unnamed in federal documents, did not know either Aungst or Bronsburg, and the two didn't seem to know each other prior to the trip but "seemed to bond during the trip," according to the FBI report.

It is believed up to 15 Pennsylvania residents were charged for crimes allegedly committed outside or inside the Capitol that day.
