Man Arrested for Seeking Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers with Weapon

An armed man, Joshua Pleasnick, initially demanded to see Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers at the State Capitol, leading to his arrest for openly carrying a firearm inside the building. After posting bail, Pleasnick returned with a loaded assault rifle, demanding to see the governor again. He was subsequently taken into custody and hospitalized. Pleasnick claimed he wanted to speak to the governor about domestic abuse towards men and stated that he had access to a large amount of weapons. Governor Evers assured reporters that he was unharmed and praised the Capitol police for their handling of the situation. This incident follows a series of violent threats against public officials, with Evers previously appearing on a gunman's hit list.
