Gieswin was in the crowd that pushed past the police barrier. He allegedly sprayed an unknown substance at police. The government claims he entered the building through a broken window. He is pictured wearing a tactical helmet (with strips of orange duct tape) and vest over his camouflage top.
Please keep in mind that in the United States, every citizen charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
