A man came to the Wisconsin State Capitol twice in one day with a gun and demanded a meeting with the governor.

A man arrested Oct. 4 for bringing a gun to the Wisconsin State Capitol and saying he wanted to see Gov. Tony Evers returned with a gun later that evening after posting bail, the Wisconsin Department of Administration said. Writes about this CNN.

When the man approached the security console at the governor's office in Madison around 14 p.m. on October 00, he was shirtless, carrying a gun in a holster and a dog on a leash.

Evers said he wouldn't leave until he saw the governor.

The man was detained without incident by a Capitol Police officer. He was taken to the Dane County Jail for openly carrying a firearm in the Capitol, which is illegal. The gun was seized as evidence and the dog was turned over to Madison Animal Control.

The man then left jail on bail and returned to the Capitol building around 21 p.m., this time with a loaded AK-00. He again asked to see the governor.

“Officers from the Capitol Police and Madison Police Department have initiated dialogue with this individual,” the statement said. “A search of his backpack revealed a police-issue collapsible baton, which is illegal because the man did not have a valid concealed carry permit.”

Officers took Evers into custody shortly before midnight for a psychiatric evaluation based on “troubling evidence,” and the rifle was seized by Capitol Police.

Britt Cudaback, a spokeswoman for the governor's office, declined to comment, saying office policy requires her not to comment on matters related to the governor's security.

However, on October 5, Evers told reporters that he was fine and thanked all police departments for their work.

“Yes, I don’t want this to happen,” he admitted. “But this is exactly what we have good people for in our police departments, in the Capitol Police and in the State Patrol.” They do a great job."

Asked whether there would be increased security at the Capitol, the governor said, “I'm sure they're looking at that at the moment,” but he also declined to discuss security in detail.
