More from NJ charged in Trump riot: Monmouth cop, MMA fighter
A Monmouth County correctional police officer and an MMA fighter were among four more New Jersey people charged on Friday in connection with the incursion at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
The arrests of Marissa Suarez, Patricia Todisco, Stephanie Hazelton and Scott Fairlamb brings the number of New Jersey residents charged to nine.
Suarez, who worked as a correctional police officer at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution for the past year, submitted her resignation on Friday, according to Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden.
"A violation of federal or state law of any kind is unacceptable, particularly from a sworn member of law enforcement whose role is to protect and serve," said Golden, who is head of the Monmouth County Republican Committee. "Actions have consequences and that applies to those who participated in the peaceful protests that resulted in violence at the Capitol."
