The office is requesting that Rittenhouse be banned from possessing or consuming alcohol or from being in any establishment that serves it; be prohibited from making any public display of any “white power” or “white supremacy” signs, symbols or gestures; and have no contact with any known militia members or members of any violent white power / white supremacist group, including the group identified as “Proud Boys”.
According to prosecutors, Rittenhouse was seen at a local bar with his mother about 90 minutes after the indictment, and his presence and behavior were confirmed by surveillance video.
Rittenhouse was seen with other individuals displaying “the ‘OK’ sign, which was co-opted as a ‘white power’ sign by well-known white supremacist groups,” and was “served directly by the bartender with beer,” the motion said.
The document also states that Rittenhouse turned 18 this month and lives in Illinois. “Under Illinois law, it is a Class A misdemeanor for anyone under the age of 21 to own or consume alcohol in a public place,” the motion states.
In Wisconsin, however, it is legal for someone under the age of 21 to own and consume alcohol if a parent is present.
Prosecutors are also asking the court to “prohibit the defendant from publicly displaying symbols and gestures associated with violent white supremacist groups and from associating with known members of these groups, especially the Proud Boys” – as they believe this could result in potential witness the intimidation.
Rittenhouse pleaded not guilty to the charges for which he was accused.
CNN contacted Rittenhouse’s lawyer for comment.
Rittenhouse’s lawyers maintained that Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense when it opened fire.
At a hearing last month, Rittenhouse’s lawyer, Mark Richards, accused prosecutors of presenting “a one-sided and affected view” of that night’s events.
Richards presented images of surveillance videos that, he said, show that his client acted in self-defense while being pursued by an armed demonstrator in fist. In another image, Rittenhouse appeared to have been hit by a skateboard while on the ground.
