JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — Police say they’ve located the man suspected of pepper spraying a 15-year-old girl during an altercation at a rally for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in southern Wisconsin.
Janesville police Sgt. Aaron Dammen said Thursday that investigators have also talked to a man accused of groping the girl at the crowded rally outside a Janesville hotel and convention center Tuesday.
Dammen says the investigation into the confrontation continues. No charges have been filed.
Video shared on social media shows a girl at the rally accusing a man of touching her chest and then punching or shoving someone in the crowd before another man wearing a Donald Trump hat pepper sprays her.
The incident is among a series of clashes between protesters and supporters at raucous Trump events.

I’m sure he just felt threatened by the 15 year old girl. Right?
No, I didn’t think so either. He was carrying pepper spray to a rally and just looking for an excuse to use it.
It was Corey Lewandowski, right?
Gee, I hope he wasn’t expecting Drumpf to pay his legal bills.
Both probably off-duty cops. Will get a week off and promotion after the union files a grievience memo.
@imkmu3 I’m sure he just felt threatened by the 15 year old girl. Right? Yeah, he just had to maneuver 15 feet through a crowd to get threatened. I nominate him for the George Zimmerman Award.
Sexual assault on a juvenile? That old guy’s gonna really regret it when he has to register for the sexual offender list, stay away from any school or employment around kids, can’t find a place to live. Yeah, that’s a great comeuppance.
Of course, it ain’t gonna happen to him, but I’d still love to see Drumpf picking up the tab for that one.
