MAGA rioter punched woman 'in the throat' after his sexual advances were denied: Feds

Federal prosecutors are arguing that a North Carolina man charged in connection with the January 6 Capitol attack should await trial in jail because he allegedly instigated a bar fight after a woman rejected him, reported CBS News' Scott MacFarlane on Thursday.

35-year-old Alan Michael St. Onge, 35, of Brevard, was initially arrested over the summer, reported WLOS. He was charged with felony civil disorder, trespassing, disorderly conduct, and impeding passage through Capitol grounds.

"Publicly available video shows St. Onge pushing against the barricades along with other rioters shortly before the police line on the east plaza was overrun," a DOJ press statement said at the time of his arrest.

The newly alleged assault incident would constitute a violation of the terms of his release.

According to the filing by the Justice Department in the D.C. District Court, police were called to the 27 Club in Asheville, North Carolina after St. Onge attacked a man and woman who had accosted him for sexual harassment of another woman.

"Victim-1 reported that she observed the defendant harassing another woman at the bar. When the woman denied the defendant's advances, the defendant walked up to Victim-1 and Victim-2 and asked Victim-1 to make a bet on 'who would f--k her first.' Victim-1 responded that the defendant needed to stop harassing the woman. The defendant then picked up an ashtray and threw it at Victim-1, striking her in the chest. Victim-1 threw a cup of water at the defendant, who then punched Victim-1 in the throat, causing scratch marks, bleeding, and bruising to her throat. Victim-2 then intervened and told the defendant to leave Victim-1 alone. The defendant pushed Victim-2 to the ground and began to kick him and stomp on his chest."

Per the filing, a witness then contacted law enforcement and told St. Onge, "If you believe that you are in the right, you'll wait for the police," after which St. Onge fled the scene.

As of press time, more than 1,200 people have been arrested in connection with January 6, making it one of the largest criminal investigations in U.S. history. The charges range from misdemeanor disorderly conduct, to seditious conspiracy convictions against leaders of the far-right Proud Boys and Oath Keepers groups.
