Thursday, October 19th, 2023 -- 3:00 PM

(Robin Colber, WRN/WIBA) A Madison man who showed up at the Capitol earlier this month with guns demanding to see Governor Evers has been arrested.

43-year-old Joshua Pleasnick was arrested by the State Capitol Police Department Tuesday night and booked into the Dane County Jail on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon, for the incident from October 4th, when he vowed to keep showing up to the Capitol until the governor spoke with him about men being wrongly accused in domestic abuse situations.

He's due in Dane County Court on Thursday for an initial appearance for the earlier arrest.
