A Wisconsin police officer said a 23-year-old protester pointed a loaded rifle at him — and bit and kicked him — during a Waupaca protest earlier this month, WBAY-TV reported.
The station said Matthew Lee Banta was charged with:
2nd degree recklessly endangering, use of a dangerous weapon (point a loaded firearm at an officer)
battery to a law enforcement officer, use of a dangerous weapon (biting an officer)
battery to a law enforcement officer (kicking an officer)
resisting an officer, use of a dangerous weapon
disorderly conduct, use of a dangerous weapon
A criminal complaint also said a bullet was in the rifle's chamber, WBAY noted, adding that police found 117 rounds of ammunition on Banta, as well as an eight-inch straight blade knife in a sheath on his belt.
