Arizona woman in mosque burglary changes plea to guilty

An Arizona woman seen burglarizing a Phoenix-area mosque in a video filmed by the woman and her co-defendant has changed her to plea to guilty.

Superior Court of Arizona spokesman Bryan Bouchard said in an email that 51-year-old Elizabeth Dauenhauer pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated criminal damage on Thursday.

KTAR-FM reports Dauenhauer is scheduled for sentencing on Nov. 8.

Dauenhauer and Tahnee Gonzales were arrested earlier this year after they posted a Facebook video where they appear to be removing posters, brochures and other materials from a mosque in Tempe, a Phoenix suburb.

The women are heard in the video referring to Muslims as devil worshippers and likened them to animals.

They both pleaded not guilty in March.

Gonzales will appear in court on Nov. 1 for a pretrial conference.
