Jason Alexander was already in trouble with the law. In 2015, he was jailed for assault and spent 111 days behind bars, and the court also sentenced him to three years probation and 25 hours of community service. He was also ordered to undergo treatment for drug and alcohol addiction.

According to Insider, it is unclear whether he was among the riot participants or was watching. Last year, the man also attended a protest against Spears’ custody of #FreeBritney, which allegedly cannot control her finances and make decisions.
