[UPDATE] Acton back campaigning day after armed man charged at her; Havas held on 3 counts
Amy Acton (D-OH) was back on the trail Monday, Sept. 7, a day after a man charged at her at the Canfield Fair. She was unhurt. "I am a fierce warrior in this fight," she said. Patrick Havas, 38, now faces disorderly conduct and two assault counts. He shoved through the crowd carrying two handguns, brass knuckles and a Taser. He never drew any of them, and carrying them is legal in Ohio, so no weapons charge was filed.
