Rep. Nancy Mace’s alleged attacker pleads not guilty to incident on Capitol grounds
Fox News
The man accused of accosting Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina on Capitol grounds in Washington, D.C., reportedly pleaded not guilty to assaulting a government official.
According to a police affidavit, two witnesses told U.S. Capitol Police a man who was about 40 years old approached Mace, only identified as the victim, to shake her hand. When Mace stuck out her hand, the man took her hand with both of his hands and "shook her arm up and down in an exaggerated, aggressive hand shaking motion." Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
Police said the witnesses provided a name and photo of the man Mace encountered after finding an internet posting of the event. The man was later identified by witnesses as James McIntyre, who police said is a 33-year-old resident of Illinois. Story tips and ideas can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
