HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED: Patrick Havas, 38, is a man from Canfield, Ohio, who was arrested after an incident at a campaign event for Democratic candidate for governor Dr. Amy Acton. Police say Havas pushed through the crowd toward Acton while she was speaking, knocking people to the ground, including older attendees.
Acton’s security stopped him before he reached her, and Acton was not hurt.
Police say Havas was carrying two handguns and brass knuckles, and another law-enforcement account said he also had a Taser, but officials say he never pulled out or displayed the weapons.
Havas was arrested and booked on two assault charges and one disorderly conduct charge, and authorities are still investigating what led to the incident.
VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!
