Tim Kaine’s son, accused of crashing MN Capitol Trump rally, appears in court
The son of U.S. senator and former vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine made his first court appearance Tuesday on allegations he was among a group of protesters who disrupted a rally in support of President Donald Trump at the Minnesota Capitol in March.
Linwood “Woody” Kaine stood with his hands clasped behind his back while his attorney, John Michael Barham, addressed the judge during the brief hearing in Ramsey County District Court.
The parties quickly agreed on a date for Kaine’s next court appearance before the judge excused them.
The 25-year-old had his long hair pulled back into a ponytail and wore a denim shirt and black pants.
In addition to his lawyer, he was accompanied by a young man and woman who sat next to him in the back of the courtroom while he waited for his case to be called. Tim Kaine did not attend.
Woody Kaine has yet to enter a plea in his case.
While his father — Hillary Clinton’s running mate in the 2016 presidential race — is a politician in Virginia, Kaine lives in Minneapolis, according to court records. Trump defeated Clinton in the November elections.
He was among eight people charged following the March 4 rally at the Capitol. Police say the rally was disrupted when a small group of people wearing black clothing and goggles began setting off smoke bombs and fireworks and spraying Mace in some Trump supporters’ faces.
Security officers saw five people dressed in black leaving the Capitol, including one who threw a smoke bomb inside, according to complaints filed by the city attorney’s office. The five went to a nearby spot and “tried to change their appearance by doing things like taking off their black clothing, putting on different jackets or hats, and turning their clothing inside out,” the complaints said.
When police approached, they scattered and ran. Steve Frazer, who was then a St. Paul police senior commander, chased a man who was later identified as Kaine.
Kaine was later charged with obstructing the legal process, a gross misdemeanor, as well as concealing his identity in a public place and fleeing a police officer. Both of the latter charges are misdemeanors.
Two others were charged with felonies for allegedly spraying Mace and using a stun gun and tear gas at the rally. One other was charged with a gross misdemeanor. The remaining four implicated face misdemeanor-level offenses.
Kaine’s next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 16.
