Mr Alexander, who was seen participating in the pro-Trump riot at the US Capitol in Washington DC in January 2021, attempted to crash Spears’ wedding to Asghari hours before they tied the knot.

He was charged with trespassing, vandalism and two counts of battery, and has been court ordered to stay away from her.
