DescriptionMadison police are looking for prominent protester Miles Kirstan for allegedly pouring a beer on Joint Finance Committee Co-Chair Robin Vos. The Republican State Representative was sitting with two other Republican state lawmakers in a hotel when the incident happened. Wisconsin Republicans are no strangers to the ire of fervent pro-union protesters, but none of those confrontations have resulted in physical abuse.

A Madison police report says a protestor followed three Republicans state lawmakers, John Nygren, Scott Suder and Robin Vos, to the Inn on the Park. The three were sitting at a table when one a man ordered a beer and poured it on State Rep. Vos.

Miles Kirstan and another protester frequently record confrontations with State Rep. Vos and post them on YouTube. Madison police say one of the two protesters had a camera during the beer pouring incident.
