WASHINGTON, D.C. — The FBI Boston Division announced the arrest of a New Hampshire resident for her alleged role in the breach of the U.S. Capitol back on January 6th 2021.

Young is charged in a criminal complaint filed in Washington, D.C. with Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds, Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Ground, and Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in any of the Capitol Buildings.
According to authorities, conversations, videos, and images of Young confirm her presence inside the Capitol on January 6, 2021
On January 5, 2021, six buses, organized by the group “Super Happy Fun America”, left Massachusetts to bring President Trump supporters to his rally and other scheduled protests.

Documents show that Young was interviewed by NTD News before she boarded one of the buses to Washington, D.C. During the interview she stated the country was “at a crossroad.”
After attending President Trump’s ‘Stop the Steal’ rally, Young joined a large group in walking to the Capitol. Once on Capitol grounds, photos show Young scaling a staircase on the Northwest lawn, as the riot began to grow outside the building.
According to the criminal complaint documents, Young can be seen throughout the day wearing the same jacket as her January 5 interview as well as sunglasses, a Trump 2020 scarf, and an American Flag ‘Trump 2020′ knit hat.
Documents show that around 2:22 p.m., Young entered the Capitol through the Senate Wing doors.

Young recounted she paid $75.00, roundtrip, for the bus ride to Washington, D.C., in order to attend the Trump Rally. Young likened the scene, on Capitol grounds, to a war zone.
