A Madison man is charged with disorderly conduct, resisting and other offenses after trying to set an American flag on fire.
The incident happened Saturday at about 10:40 p-m near the Capitol square.
Witnesses say Isaiah J. Johnson took the flag from a motor home and went into a bus shelter where he tried to light it on fire. He was with a group of about 20 people at the time.
Law enforcement officials say he was originally taken into custody due to “safety concerns.”
