FBI Agents Threatened in Boca Raton

A 59-year-old woman from Boca Raton has been charged with making a communication in interstate commerce that threatened to kill agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

According to the allegations in the criminal complaint affidavit, the FBI received an online tip to the National Threat Operation Center (NTOC) on January 16, 2021, that Suzanne Kaye posted information on her Facebook page that she was present at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021.

On January 28, 2021, agents contacted Kaye by phone and informed her of the FBI’s interest in interviewing her about her travel to Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021. Kaye asked the agents if they had proof that she traveled to Washington D.C., says the affidavit.

The complaint affidavit also alleges that on January 31, 2021, at approximately 10:38 p.m., Kaye posted a video on her Facebook page titled “ANGRY Patriot Hippie” which was captioned, “F— the FBI!!” In the video, Kaye announced that she received a telephone call from the FBI asking about her travel to Washington D.C. Kaye then told her audience in the video that she will not talk to the FBI without counsel, and that she will exercise “my second amendment right to shoot your f—— ass if you come here,” implying that she will use violence against FBI Agents if they come to her residence.

Kaye had her initial appearance this week before a federal magistrate judge in West Palm Beach, where law enforcement officers arrested her. A bond hearing has been scheduled for February 24, 2021.

Kaye, a resident of Boca Raton, Florida, is accused of making a communication in interstate commerce that threatened to kill agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Dispoto of the Southern District of Florida. The FBI West Palm Beach is handling the investigation.

A federal criminal complaint is merely an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
