A Wisconsin man accused of pepper-spraying police officers during the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol has pleaded guilty to a federal assault charge.
MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin man pleaded guilty Friday to a federal assault charge after being accused of bragging in a social media message that he pepper-sprayed police officers so severely during the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol that they had to undress.
According to court documents, Kasper carried a canister of what investigators believe was pepper spray during the attack at the Capitol building. He declared in a social media message to another person later that day that he “pepper sprayed 3 cops so bad they got undressed and went home.” He also said that he was among a group that broke through a gate and chased police officers down.
Kasper’s attorney, listed in online court records as Michael Lawlor, didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
