GREEN BAY, WI -(Wisconsin Radio Network) – Authorities in Brown County say a 23-year-old Antifa member had military-grade smoke grenades, fireworks, and a flamethrower in his backpack at a protest Saturday.
The district attorney filed charges Monday against Matthew Banta.
Investigators say Banta is also known as “Commander Red.” When he was taken into custody in Green Bay, Banta was out on bail for pointing a rifle at a police officer in Waupaca earlier this month.
He’s in the Brown County Jail on a 25-hundred-dollar bond.
