Two Madison men face felony charges of criminal damage for helping topple two statues at the state Capitol last June.
Authorities say 21-year-old Sasha N. Clemente and 27-year-old Jacob K. Capps were identified when video from street cameras was reviewed. The crowd on June 23rd pulled down the statues of abolitionist Colonel Hans Christian Heg and the figure called “Forward.” Hundreds of people were in the streets that night protesting the arrest of activist Devonere Johnson.
More than 40 people have been charged with felonies for causing damage or looting in the downtown area since May 30th.
