Another Richmond woman has been charged in connection with last year's infamous Stanley Cup riot.

This time Kathleen Brownell, 24, has been charged with participating in a riot, break and entering and causing mischief.

The Crown approved on Friday the charges against former McNair secondary student Brownell, who also goes by the name Katie.

She was among the 25 additional charges approved by the Crown on 10 more suspected rioters, bringing the grand total to 301 criminal charges against 114 suspects stemming from the trouble last June.

To date, the Vancouver Police Department's Integrated Riot Investigation Team has recommended 674 criminal charges against 225 suspected rioters.

Brownell joins two other Richmond women on the riot suspect list, UBC student Camille Cacnio, 21, and former pageant queen Sophie Laboissonniere, 20.
