Jenny Cudd, who is charged with participating in the Jan. 6 siege, said she had planned a four-day “work-related bonding retreat” in the Riviera Maya with employees and their spouses.
A federal judge said on Friday that a florist from Texas who has been charged with taking part in the riot at the U.S. Capitol last month may travel to Mexico for what she had described as a “work-related bonding retreat.” The judge, Trevor N. McFadden of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, granted the woman, Jenny Louise Cudd, permission to take the prepaid trip this month, saying she had no criminal history and there was no evidence she was a flight risk or a danger to others. Judge McFadden also said that Ms. Cudd’s pretrial services officer and prosecutors had not objected to her request to travel. Ms. Cudd must provide her itinerary to her pretrial officer and follow any other instructions the officer gives her, the judge said. Ms. Cudd, who was charged with violent entry and being in a restricted building or grounds, said in a court filing that she had “planned and prepaid” for the retreat with her employees in the Riviera Maya, south of Cancún, from Feb.
