An armed man was arrested after demanding to see Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, after posting bail he came back the same night with an assault rifle.
On Wednesday, a man armed with a loaded weapon was detained after storming the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison and demanding to see Governor Evers (D-Wis.). He then reportedly later returned with a loaded assault rifle after posting bond which led to his second arrest.
State Department of Administration Spokesperson Tatyana Warrick stated that the 43-year-old suspect, who was shirtless, allegedly approached the governor’s office at around 2 p.m.
The man then reportedly said “he would not leave until he saw Governor Evers” so he could talk about “domestic abuse towards men.”
Warrick said that the governor was not in his office at the time but there was an officer who sits outside the area.
The man was then reportedly taken into custody for openly carrying a firearm in the Capitol and was booked into the Dane County Jail where he later posted bail.
According to the spokeswoman, the suspect then came back to the capitol once it was closed at around 9 p.m. with a loaded assault-style rifle and a collapsible police baton once again demanding to see Evers.
In a bulletin sent to Capitol workers, police stated that the man said “he did not own a vehicle and it is likely he has access to a large amount of weapons and is comfortable using them.”
The person was identified by Capitol Police, but no charges had been filed Thursday, according to court records.
According to Madison police, the man was taken into protective custody and sent to the hospital on Thursday.
The identity of the man has not been publicly released.

How can society effectively address and prevent instances of domestic abuse, fostering understanding and promoting the well-being of all individuals, regardless of gender
In an incident that occurred on Wednesday, an armed man was arrested after storming the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison and demanding to see Governor Tony Evers. The man, who was shirtless and allegedly in possession of a loaded weapon, approached the governor’s office at around 2 p.m. and insisted on speaking to Governor Evers about “domestic abuse towards men.” Fortunately, the governor was not present in his office at the time, but an officer stationed outside the area responded to the situation.
The suspect was apprehended for openly carrying a firearm in the Capitol and was subsequently booked into the Dane County Jail. However, after posting bail, the individual returned to the capitol in the evening and was arrested again, this time with a loaded assault-style rifle and a collapsible police baton. Police issued a bulletin to Capitol workers, expressing concerns about the man’s access to weapons and his apparent comfort in using them.
While the suspect has been identified by Capitol Police, no charges have been filed as of yet. The Madison police have taken the individual into protective custody and transferred him to the hospital on Thursday. The identity of the man has not been publicly released.
This incident serves as a reminder of the potential risks and dangers associated with individuals trying to gain unauthorized access to government buildings while armed. It highlights the importance of constant vigilance and security measures in place to protect government officials, staff, and the general public.
It is essential for law enforcement agencies to thoroughly investigate this case to determine the motives and intentions of the suspect. The safety and well-being of government officials and the public should always be the top priority. Measures must be taken to ensure that such incidents are prevented in the future.
Furthermore, it is crucial to address the underlying issues that motivated the suspect’s actions. Domestic abuse is a serious problem that affects both men and women, and it is essential to provide support and resources to all victims. Open and productive discussions about these issues must be encouraged to foster understanding and promote the well-being of all individuals.
In conclusion, the incident at the Wisconsin State Capitol serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for security measures and the importance of addressing social issues such as domestic abuse. Authorities must remain vigilant in their efforts to maintain the safety of government officials and the public, while also working towards creating a society that prioritizes the well-being and safety of all individuals.
