Mother of Bloomington man arrested for participating in Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot

INDIANA— The mother of a Bloomington man who was sentenced for his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol has also been charged with similar conduct.

Anthony Vo and his mother, Annie Vo.

According to court documents filed earlier this year in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Annie Vo, a Fishers resident, was charged with misdemeanor counts of:

  • Entering and remaining in a restricted building
  • Disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building
  • Disorderly conduct in a capitol building
  • Parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building

On Jan. 6, 2021, hundreds of people protesting the 2020 election results breached the U.S. Capitol, unlawfully entering the building as members of Congress were expected to verify the election results.

Annie Vo’s son, Antony Vo, was sentenced in April to nine months in prison after he was found guilty of participating in the breach. According to previous reports, Antony Vo is expected to serve 12 months of supervised release after his prison sentence and pay a $1,000 fine.
