He was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly. Also arrested was Marcus Jeremiah Jared Schroeder, who was punched in the face by Stewart. That happened after Schroeder reached for a paper Stewart was holding while reciting a Satanic verse.

The leader of a Satanic group that sponsored a Black Mass on Friday morning was arrested following an incident inside the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka.Around 11:30 a.m. Friday, Satanic Grotto founder Michael Stewart made his way to the security checkpoint at the visitors entrance on the north side of the Statehouse.

Witnesses and friends identified the young man trying to snatch away the Black Mass script as Marcus Schroeder, who came to counterprotest with fellow members of a Kansas City-area church. Online records show Schroeder, 21, was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct, with his bond also set at $1,000.
