I'm not up on Alex Jones and Infowars. It is a little too way right fringe for me. Apparently this reporter was getting ready to release a big documentary on the deep state when she was arrested at home for burglary. It could be a big publicity stunt to push her documentary. Talks about a grand jury indicting her for burglary, which I understand does not happen.
There is a video of the arrest, but it seems to show just feet.
Anyway something to pay attention to if it is indeed true.
More of that we only have a 1st amendment for speech the people in power like.
Stay tuned.

Maybe I missed something, but the link you provided goes to a science MD magazine. I can’t find any article related to your post.

Fixed, thanks.

Yeah robbery is stealing from a person with the threat of force.

Some minor points to consider that may help answer some questions. Taking the domestic violence charge first, I will point out that her husband is not the only family she has. Consider that her husband was also arrested, think of a case where she and her husband got into a fight with her brother. Both might be guilty of domestic violence for the same incident. Or they could both have spanked one of their children in public and someone may have complained saying it was too much violence.
Robbery is usually thought of as pointing a gun at someone and taking their money, but it is not really the only way to commit it. I just looked at the Ohio laws and it is a robbery if you commit any theft while carrying a deadly weapon, whether you use it or show it or not. Theft is defined as taking something through fraud or deception. How much of the information she received from various people was given to her because she deceived the person somehow? And being a conservative reporter, what are the odds she has a license and carries a firearm? It is entirely possible that she committed a robbery in this fashion.
Both of these examples are kind of stretching the law, but they show how a person can commit a crime while trying to do what they think is the right thing. Well, take that kind of out, they are stretching the law. And to make it more clear, it shows how a real criminal case can be made that is really politically based (i.e., would they do this to a reporter for MSNBC).
I don't know anything about the case or the person. I don't follow Infowars at all. She could be a reporter being set up for political reasons or she could have committed a real traditional robbery. All we really know is that someone convinced a grand jury to indict her for certain charges. We also know that any good DA can get any indictment they want (indict a ham sandwich is the saying).
Don't jump to any conclusions with no facts other than an arrest was made.

First they came for the MAGA hat wearers, and I did not speak out
Because I never wore my MAGA hat
Then they came for the police and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a policeman.
Then they came for the conservative Journalists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a writer.
Then they came for the gun owners and I did not speak out-
Because I lost all my guns in a boating accident.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Re: Alex Jones Infowars reporter arrested at home for robbery
I'm not a fan of Alex Jones and don't know much about those who work with him. I have heard of her, however. I wonder if the arrest is in any way tied toe this documentary
I watched some of it but cannot vouch for any of its contents.

Arrested on Friday so had to spend the weekend in jail.
Blindsided.
Re: Alex Jones Infowars reporter arrested at home for robbery
Seems the charges relate to an incident with her mother. Her partner (commlaw husband?) And brother face the same charges.

I started watching her documentary Shadow Gate. Good so far. Only controversial part so far is that it exposes how big government data is being hijacked, which with the documentary's ban on youtube, apparently means that Youtube/Google/Alphabet doesn't want the public to know that.
