Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday that federal agents had picked up information alleging that “violent instigators†from outside Wisconsin were traveling to Kenosha to attack law enforcement amid protests sparked by the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake.
ABC News’ Alex Mallin was first to report on Barr’s comments, which he delivered during his visit to Kenosha with President Donald Trump, who toured buildings and businesses in Kenosha that were badly damaged in the riots.
Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said more than 200 people have been arrested since the protests began. Of those, more than half were from outside Kenosha, he said. Many arrests were for curfew violations, and included possible charges for burglary, possession of illegal drugs, and carrying concealed weapons without a permit, officials said. The Kenosha Police Department has said more than 20 firearms were seized.
Beth also said that “outside agitators†have used social media or made phone calls to churches and businesses to scare people and spread false rumors.
“I want the people of Kenosha to know there’s a huge amount of resources here to protect you,†Beth said.
