Brandon E. McCormick has said he showed up at Saturday’s downtown protest, armed with a bow and arrow, to protect police from unruly demonstrators.

Now the 57-year-old Taylorsville man, who has spent nearly two decades of his life behind bars in California and once was convicted of battery against a public safety officer, faces three felony counts for, widely shared video has shown, aiming his weapon at protesters.

All three counts are Utah’s lowest grade of felony. Each is punishable by up to five years in prison. McCormick was also charged with a misdemeanor count of threatening or using a weapon in a fight. That count carries up to a year in jail.

The Salt Lake County district attorney’s office, which filed the charges, also asked that a warrant be issued for McCormick’s arrest with bail set at $100,000. There was no record of McCormick being booked into the county jail as of 6:30 p.m.

1. Anyone want to bet me that he is a Trump supporter?

5. He stated he wants to go back in time...

And take out Obama and Hillary when they were in their cribs.

He's also facing jail time back in his hometown for assault.

It's painfully obvious why he was there, armed, and who he supports.

2. Uhhh, that dude needs serious time in prison or institutionalization. Five years minimum.

One dangerous man-child. He will never be okay. That was an act of pure insanity.

3. Not the sharpest arrow in the quiver. Most of his adult life behind bars. . . . nt

4. Trump's support is not from their best and brightest.
