The man who called himself "Maserati Mike" and showed up Wednesday with a long rifle outside the Kenosha County Courthouse is a fired Ferguson, Missouri, police officer.
Jesse T. Kline confirmed his identity to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Thursday.
Also, in response to an inquiry from the Journal Sentinel, Ferguson Police Chief Frank McCall Jr. wrote in an email: "I can confirm that this is former Officer Jesse Kline who was terminated by the Ferguson Police Department several years ago."
In recent days, Kline has been seen outside the Kenosha County Courthouse as the jury deliberates in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. On Wednesday, when he showed up with the long rifle, Kenosha County sheriff's deputies asked him to put the rifle away and he complied.
