Prosecutor says man accused of charging toward Ohio governor candidate wanted to ask questions
- On Sunday, Ohio State Highway Patrol arrested 38-year-old Patrick Havas at the Canfield Fair after he allegedly rushed toward Democratic gubernatorial nominee Dr. Amy Acton, knocking down several bystanders including elderly fairgoers.
- Law enforcement discovered two handguns, a taser, and brass knuckles on Havas, though he did not brandish them before officers intervened; Havas remains in the Mahoning County Jail facing assault and disorderly conduct charges.
- Public records indicate Havas shared a residence with Andrew Havas, a former volunteer for Republican Senator Jon Husted who resigned in July following a sexual misconduct conviction involving a minor.
- Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Husted condemned the attack as 'completely unacceptable,' while Acton, who remained at the fair to assist injured attendees, stated, 'This kind of violence has no place in Ohio.'
- Campaigning resumed Monday as Acton returned to the trail in Cleveland less than 24 hours after the incident; the race remains a statistical dead heat with Acton and Ramaswamy locked in competition.
