Detective Husband of Alleged Capitol Rioter Asked Wife Not to Go, Shaler Police Chief Says
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | MAR 19, 2021 | Mick Stinelli

A woman arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol is married to a detective in the Shaler Township Police Department who asked his wife not to go to the rally that day, the Shaler police chief said Friday.

Jennifer Heinl, 55, of Ross, was charged Thursday with crimes connected to the riot. Her husband, Michael Heinl, a 30-year member of the Shaler police force, asked her not to travel to D.C. prior to the rally, Chief Sean Frank said Friday.

“His wife was a part of that situation,” Chief Frank said. “He didn’t condone it. He didn’t ask her to go there. He wasn’t there. He was here working.”

According to records in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, Detective Heinl in February filed for divorce. He is not currently part of the investigation into Ms. Heinl’s alleged crimes, which were investigated by the FBI in Pittsburgh.

“She’s an adult,” Chief Frank said. “And I don’t think he had any part in her going there.”

As a detective investigating violent crime and child abuse, he is also a part of the FBI Pittsburgh office’s Violent Crimes Task Force. Catherine Policicchio, an FBI spokeswoman, said the office had no comment on the matter.

Chief Frank commended Detective Heinl’s work for the police department. “He’s a very thorough, hardworking detective. He’s got some advanced experience and training in some different areas of investigation.

“He’s received numerous awards throughout his career for the work on different cases that

WOW! If I threw my wife under the bus like that, I would never be able to sleep in the same house with her. At least not if I wanted to survive the night.

Did she walk between the velvet ropes? Was she escorted into the building by the capital police? Or was she involved in the fake “siege” where the security guard fired a blank round at Ashli’s hips?

You have a strange idea of marriage.

If your spouse committed adultery, you'd think that was dandy?

If your spouse, humiliated in public, in the news, and his weapon taken from, and he's the bad guy?

You have a very liberal view of marriage.

Remember, his wife was a crisis actor hired to take part in a leftwing conspiracy to smear Trump.

I told a couple of my really close and conservative friends I wanted to go. I was shocked when they both begged me not to. When I asked why they both (separately, not at the same time) said it’s going to be a trap. Anybody who goes is going to get blamed for whatever the left is planning.
