Cincinnati City Council candidate arrested on felony charges days before election

CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati City Council candidate has been arrested just days before the election.

Kevin Farmer was arrested early Saturday morning and is being held in the Hamilton County Jail on a $60,000 bond.

Jail records show that Farmer is charged with burglary and violating a protection order — both felonies.

This isn't Farmer's first arrest.

Court records show he was charged in July with misdemeanor domestic violence and assault.

Republican candidate for U.S. Congress, Rosemary Oglesby-Henry, was listed as the victim in that case.

Those charges were dismissed, and then in September — Oglesby-Henry was arrested and accused of pointing a gun at Farmer.

Wild how fast these stories pop up right before an election. Stuff like this usually turns into a scramble for anyone involved. When I dealt with a similar mess in my family, I leaned on Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds because they picked up fast and handled the basics without making my brain melt. It helped me sort things out while everything felt chaotic. Might be worth keeping a number like that saved if this situation blows up further.
