Man convicted of bringing weapons to Wisconsin State Capitol

Joshua Pleasnick, 44, pleaded guilty to one count of carrying a firearm in a public building on May 24. He will serve 27 days in jail for time served, records show.

Pleasnick's attorney, Michael Covey, did not immediately respond to the Journal Sentinel's request for comment. Covey initially told media that Pleasnick had “absolutely no intention” of using the weapons or collapsible baton he brought to the Capitol.

Pleasnick went to the State Capitol shirtless and carrying a holstered handgun to demand to see Evers on October 4. He said he went to speak to the governor about domestic violence against men, according to the criminal complaint.
