Former Brick Resident Charged In Capitol Riots

By Chris Lundy

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A woman who once challenged the mail-in votes of a local Brick election was charged with being part of the rioters who broke into the Capitol Building to disrupt the transfer of power on January 6, 2021.

Investigators said that Anna Lichnowski entered the Capitol Building through a door that was already broken down, walked around, took pictures, and then left.

A tipster told the FBI that Lichnowski posted pictures on Facebook of herself inside the Capitol Building. She eventually deleted the photos but continued to tell people she was there.

A Brick Township police officer was contacted by federal investigators and that officer positively identified her. Furthermore, there is booking information of her staying at the State Plaza Hotel in Washington D.C. on the night of January 5, according to reports.

She was arrested in Florida. She was charged with Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; and Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building.

Previously, she had claimed that there was election fraud at a local Brick election, according to The Patch. She requested surveillance videos of all drop-off election boxes when her friend didn’t win. The county’s administrator, Republican Carl Block, said on behalf of the election system overseen by the county that there wasn’t voter fraud.
