LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The leader of a pro-gun group that has staged armed protests has been convicted of pointing a rifle at law enforcement while in Kentucky for a demonstration, officials said.
A federal jury found John F. Johnson, who goes by “Grandmaster Jay,” guilty on Friday on charges of assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement and brandishing a firearm during protests two years ago, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Sunday in a statement.
