A 23-year-old Washington Park woman faces charges in connection to widespread looting in downtown Chicago in August.

She was arrested Nov. 9 on the South Side and charged with a felony count each of burglary and looting, police said.

Howard is among hundreds of people suspected of looting shops Aug. 10 throughout Chicago, less than a day after rumors allegedly spread following a police shooting in Englewood.
