KENOSHA, WI (WLIP)–A Kenosha man has reportedly pleaded guilty to charges of throwing a brick at a police officer.
It happened as crowds gathered near the shooting scene of Jacob Blake two years ago.
Now 29 year old Ashton Howard has reportedly pleaded guilty to obstructing a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder.
The incident was caught on video and according to the criminal complaint it shows a person throwing a brick who then boasts about it afterward.
Investigators were able to match items worn by the suspect in the video with those in Howard’s possession.
Under the plea he faces 5 years in prison.
He’s due in court next month.
