| [PostMillennial] "They informed him the other day that they were pursuing additional charges. He couldn't take another day," Perna's family reportedly stated. Jan 6 defendant Matthew Perna has reportedly did away with himself. Perna was charged by federal authorities with Obstruction of an Official Proceeding and Aiding and Abetting, Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds, Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds, and Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building. According to the Department of Justice's case description, Perna was arrested on Jan. 19, 2021, indicted more than a month later on Feb. 25, 2021, and entered a plea agreement on Dec. 17, 2021, pleading guilty to all counts. Perna was seen in surveillance footage inside the Capitol building wearing a red Make America Great Again hoodie. Perna maintained that he was pushed into the building by a crowd that had gathered behind him, according to the criminal complaint, and that he hadn't intended to go inside. Perna insisted that he was only in the building for only five to 10 minutes on Jan. 6, the complaint reads. Perna's sentencing was set to take place on March 3, 2022, for charges that carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the felony, with additional penalties related to the misdemeanors, WKBN reported. Pro-life activist and independent journalist Tayler Hansen said Perna "has been bullied to death by the DOJ." Perna's family said, "They informed him the other day that they were pursuing additional charges. He couldn't take another day," according to Hansen. Last year, Jan. 6 defendant John Steven Anderson, who sought police help during the chaotic event on Capitol grounds, died while awaiting trial. The veteran of the Marine Corps and Florida Army National Guard's 3/20th Special Forces Group was arrested in February and indicted a month later on eight counts. Anderson was granted pretrial release in March 2021 and ordered to stay away from the District of Columbia except for business related to the Jan 6 case. |
