A Miami County resident reported to police being recruited to take part in a citizens arrest of Gov. Mike DeWine at his Cedarville home a week ago, but the plot evidently never materialized.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol, which handles security for the governor and his residences, was notified of the report by local law enforcement. The Patrol will not say if it launched an investigation or if any probe is ongoing, citing security concerns.
This report to police came just a week after 13 men were arrested for reportedly planning to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and it follows months of protests against DeWine and state health officials.
According to a Piqua Police Department report from Oct. 16, a citizen told an officer about being called earlier that morning by an outspoken critic of DeWine. The caller reportedly asked if they wanted to take part in an attempt to arrest the governor at his home later that weekend and try him for allegations of tyranny.

I think of him as one of the old school republican - I disagree with him on most thing but I don't think he's trying to drive the country into a rathole for his own person benefit. And that's why the right wingers hate him.

(43,134 posts)They rail against tyranny but couldn't recognize fascism or nazis if it bit them in the butt. They think covid no problem despite 4% of patients dying everywhere, yet they're so scared of the unorganized and mostly non-existent Antifa that they carry assault rifles everywhere.
To me they lack a sense of proportion, like gamblers who lose tens of thousands of dollars without worry, but foam at the mouth over spending ten dollars.

They already have a verdict determined.
Trump is encouraging them.
