Criminal History
On May 16, 2009, during a birthday party for his oldest son at his home, Mock—who had been drinking all day—became incensed by three juvenile boys whom he believed had started a fire nearby. Mock grabbed a gun from his home, approached the juvenile boys, screamed at them, and pointed his gun at their heads, threatening to shoot them. An unrelated adult female witnessed this scene from her car, pulled over, and tried to intervene. She asked what was going on, to which Mock responded that it was ‘not your fucking business’. He appeared to be drunk and said something about the juveniles having set a fire. The boys were shaking and did not appear to have any idea what was going on; the woman suggested that they should call the boys’ parents. At that point, Mock shoved her away and returned to his house. The woman called the police. A local SWAT team arrived and set up a perimeter around Mock’s house. Mock refused to exit the house. Instead, he barricaded himself inside with his gun, shaved his head, and told the police they would have to get a warrant. Many hours later, a police negotiator finally coaxed Mock outside. Mock mentioned that he was suicidal.
A few months later, on November 1, 2009, Mock assaulted his ex-wife, Individual-1. She was sleeping in the basement with her 7-year-old son when Mock came home, after having been drinking, and began throwing things around the house. He then demanded that she “get out.” Individual-1 refused and instead went upstairs and laid down on the bed. Mock followed her upstairs, grabbed her, and threw her off the bed. She tried to escape to the basement, but Mock followed her, threw her on the basement floor, and repeatedly kicked her. Mock then left the residence. Individual-1, along with her child, fled to a domestic violence shelter and obtained an order of protection/separation against Mock. While Individual-1 chose not to pursue the resulting domestic violence charges against Mock, she later stated that she only did so because Mock was blackmailing her. Specifically, he threatened to get her fired from her job if she pursued the charges. She was so afraid of losing employment and the income it provided for her and her child that she complied.
Meanwhile, during the pendency of this case, Mock’s now ex-girlfriend, Visnovec, who joined him for the riot at the U.S. Capitol, obtained a restraining order against him because she felt scared of his behavior and potential behavior in the aftermath of their breakup
