(NATICK, Mass.) Suzanne Ianni, a 59-year-old Natick Town Meeting member, was arrested by the FBI Tuesday for participating in the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol Building, reported MassLive.
Ianni is charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
The FBI identified Ianni through social media through a group called “Super Happy Fun America,” which posted pictures of Ianni on a bus with the caption “Bus 1 of 11 coming to Washington D.C. See you there!” SHFA is a right wing organization that organized a “Straight Pride Parade” in 2019, according to USA Today.
Court documents say Ianni organized the buses to Washington for about 300 Trump-supporters who may have gone on to storm the Capitol.
A Change.org petition calling for Ianni’s removal from Town Meeting has accrued almost 1,700 signatures as of 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
