A US citizen, identified as Joseph Tater, has been sentenced to 15 days in a Russian prison for attacking a police officer. Following the incident, Tater will spend the next two months in pre-trial detention as ordered by the Meshchansky Court of Moscow. He was found guilty of disorderly conduct, which involved aggressive behavior, swearing, and hitting a female police officer during detention.
Tater is also facing a criminal case for using violence against a government official, which could lead to imprisonment for up to five years. Despite submitting an application through his lawyer not to be placed in detention, the Meshchansky District Court of Moscow granted a request to keep him in detention until October 14.
