Ohio state Rep. Bob Young arrested for second time in last two months

Charged with violating protection order

The Republican legislator is being held in Summit County jail on a misdemeanor charge of “recklessly” violating a protection order, according to the Barberton Municipal Court.

To recap, he’s now facing three total charges. They are: domestic violence, assault and violating a protection order. All three are first-degree misdemeanors.

Young was found at his residence in Magnolia and was emotional, according to TCSO. The county doesn’t have body cameras. He was taken into custody by TCSO, and hours later, SCSO picked him up.

The most recent warrant for Young’s arrest was issued after he broke the protection order by calling one of the individuals listed on it, Holland said.
