Suzanne Ianni, the former Natick Town Meeting member who was arrested early last year for her alleged role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, pleaded guilty this week to disorderly conduct in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia. A plea agreement with the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia reduces three charges to one, and if a judge agrees to the deal, Ianni could serve up to six months in jail and pay $500 for damage done at the Capitol.
Ianni is described in the U.S. Attorney’s office Statement of Offense as “the contact person for and organizer of bus transportation from Boston, Massachusetts, to Washington, D.C. for members of ‘Super Happy Fun America’ to transport other members to protest Congress’ certification of the Electoral College.”
According to the statement, “the defendant admits that she willfully and knowingly entered the U.S. Capitol Building knowing that that she did not have permission to do so. The defendant further admits that while inside the Capitol, she willfully and knowingly uttered loud, threatening, or abusive language, or engaged in disorderly or disruptive conduct with the intent to impede, disrupt, or disturb the orderly conduct of a session of Congress.”
A federal judge in April denied Ianni’s claims that charges were brought against her due to discrimination for her political views.
Sentencing for Ianni is slated for Dec. 2.
