Armed man disrupts Dr. Amy Acton's campaign stop at Canfield Fair

An armed man is in jail after pushing through a crowd at a campaign stop for gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton. Patrick Havas, 38, entered a Democratic Party tent at the Canfield Fairgrounds yesterday afternoon where Acton was speaking. He began recording on his phone and pushed his way through the crowd, prompting a confrontation with Acton's security detail. Two people were knocked to the ground and injured.
