Armed guy crashes Amy Acton's fair tent, forgets to actually use the guns

Original version ·

Things got weird at the Canfield Fair when a guy with a stash of weapons decided to start shoving people at the Ohio gubernatorial candidate’s tent.

So Amy Acton is just hanging out at the Canfield Fair when Patrick Havas decides to waltz into the Democratic tent. The guy was packing two handguns and brass knuckles, but instead of doing anything effective, he just started shoving folks around. Acton’s security team—who happen to be Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers—immediately tackled him before he could pull a trigger.

The wild part? Acton is a physician, so she didn't just stand there shaking. She stayed on-site to help treat the people who got hurt during the scramble. The guy is now sitting in the Mahoning County Jail waiting to face the music. Politics in Ohio are officially hitting a new level of chaotic.

Apparently, carrying a loaded arsenal to a county fair is now just a Tuesday for some people.
