From Bay Area ABC:
Jesse the Brickthower was accused of throwing bricks at police during a May Day Occupation. He is facing felony charges, of felony assault, assault on a police officer, and vandalism.
He has a history of mental health problems dating at least as far back as the age of 16 when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He is also a vet who has PTSD, and has problems with substance abuse.
He will be having a pretrial hearing Wednesday the 27th. Apologies to both Jessie and his supporters for not getting this out earlier.
