LEXINGTON, Ky. — Republican candidate for governor Eric Deters was charged with menacing, harassment and trespassing after a run-in with his nephew on a Northern Kentucky farm.
It all started with Deters’ nephew, a juvenile, flipping him off near his driveway on Oct. 3. The criminal complaint filed by the nephew alleges that Deters then proceeded to chase his nephew, identified as “J.D.” in the report, later sending harassing texts and voicemails to his sister-in-law, the juvenile’s father.
A witness saw Deters, 59, following J.D. as closely as 2 feet behind him.
