MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — The man who brought guns to the Wisconsin State Capitol demanding to see Governor Evers pleaded not guilty in court Thursday.
43-year-old Joshua Pleasnick made his initial appearance in Dane County Court and was granted a signature bond.
The judge also barred him from the Capitol Square and anywhere near the governor’s residence.
Pleasnick is prohibited from having any dangerous weapons, including guns.
He’s charged with a misdemeanor of carrying a firearm in a public building for the October 4 incident.
His attorney noted that Pleasnick, who is homeless, never directly threatened the governor.
