A protester who interrupted a Trump rally to face charges, according to local police

A protester who disrupted former President Donald Trump’s rally Friday in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, will be charged with misdemeanor charges, local police confirmed to NBC News on Saturday.

The man, whose identity has not yet been released, faces charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and disrupting a meeting or procession, according to Johnstown Police Sgt. Evan Dabbs.

Charges have not yet been filed, but Dabbs said they are expected to be filed early next week.

It’s unclear what the protester thought of Trump.

The man jumped over the barricade and jumped onto the press stand, yelling at the former president as Trump spoke. It was unclear what the protester said.

Trump reacted to the scene from the stage, saying, “He’s on our side.”

The rally came shortly after Trump criticized reporters, comments that are a routine part of his rallies. For years, Trump has sharply criticized the press and tried to undermine the media’s credibility. Often supporters at his rallies turn around and heckle journalists when the former president releases journalists.

Security forces handcuffed the protester and removed him from the demonstration. He was processed and released Friday, Dabbs said. Dabbs told NBC News that he was not involved in the arrest and did not know the protester’s motive.

No bystanders, media or law enforcement were injured, according to Greg Neugebauer, the district attorney for Cambria County, where Johnstown is located.

“There were no other incidents reported at the event,” Neugebauer told NBC News.

NBC News has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment on the pending charges.
