    Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old black man shot by police in Kenosha,
    Wisconsin, on Sunday, was wanted on charges of sexual assault, among
    others, according to the Associated Press.

    The AP reported Monday:

    Online court records indicate Kenosha County prosecutors
    charged Blake on July 6 with third-degree sexual assault,
    trespassing and disorderly conduct in connection with domestic
    abuse. An arrest warrant was issued for Blake the following day.

    The records contain no further details and do not list an
    attorney for Blake.

    Another article from 2015 describes a Jacob Blake, aged 24, who had to
    be subdued by a police dog after he resisted arrest following an armed altercation in a bar.

    The Racine County Eye reported:

    Jacob Blake, 24, of Racine, was charged Monday in Racine County
    Circuit Court with one felony count of resisting arrest causing
    a soft tissue injury to a police officer and one misdemeanor
    count each of carrying a concealed weapon, carrying a firearm
    while intoxicated, endangering safety-use of a dangerous weapon,
    and disorderly conduct. If convicted, he will face up to 8-1/2
    years in prison and/or up to $50,000 in fines.

    According to the criminal complaint, Blake and two women were
    at the Brass Monkey tavern, 1436 Junction Avenue, Saturday when
    Blake got into an argument with another patron and pulled a
    black handgun. Blake pointed the gun at the other man, and the
    magazine fell to the floor. The bartender told Blake to leave,
    and he did but then pointed the gun through the window at
    patrons inside the bar before walking south on Junction Avenue.

    Police say they encountered a woman walking on Junction who was
    in the bar with Blake, but she said she didn’t know what
    happened and that her friends left without her in a silver SUV.
    A few moments later, officers were advised that a silver SUV
    was traveling north on Junction with a male subject driving who
    matched the description of Blake, and they initiated a traffic
    stop in the 1200 block of Racine Avenue.

    Believing the driver was armed, police conducted a high risk
    traffic stop, the complaint reads, and ordered Blake to put his
    hands out the window of the vehicle. Instead, Blake exited the
    SUV and started walking toward officers and ignored commands to
    get down on the ground. Officers forced Blake to the ground and
    ordered him to put his hands behind his back. When Blake refused
    to comply, K9 Dozer was deployed to force the defendant into
    compliance.

    Breitbart News attempted to confirm that the same individual was
    involved in both altercations. The telephone line of the Racine police department was busy.

    Blake was shot several times on Sunday evening after walking away from
    police officers, who had reportedly attempted to subdue him with a
    Taser, and reaching inside a vehicle.

    Riots, looting, and arson erupted in the aftermath. The National Guard
    were deployed to Racine on Monday and an 8 p.m. curfew has been imposed
    on part of Kenosha County.
