“In his guilty plea statement, Schroerlucke also said he plans to ask the judge to return a gun he voluntarily surrendered after probation is completed, and to allow him to keep two guns in a safe in the home during probation which he would only be allowed to remove from the safe if there is a credible threat to his life or his mother’s life while they are at home.”
At one point during the protest, Schroerlucke got into a confrontation with some of the Black Lives Matter protesters.
Judge Vernice Trease, who accepted the plea on Tuesday, ruled in April 2022 that Shoroerlucke was not acting in self-defense because he was armed while others at the protest were not. She cited a comment he made at the protest that was recorded and played back at the hearing, referring to the stun gun he said “let’s have fun with this, I haven’t tried it yet.” Trease said this does not sound like someone who is afraid.
