Libby man jailed on stalking accusation

Jun. 20—A 54-year-old man faces three counts of violating a protection order and one stalking charge after being arrested in the parking lot of a local store across from the residence of a person who has a protection order against him. Richard Joseph Devine is facing four charges, up to seven years of jail, and fines of up to $12,000. According to police documents, on April 23, sheriff deputies were asked to keep an eye on a vehicle at Dollar Tree. The owner of the car, police documents said, was Devine, who had a permanent protective order from a reporting party, and the store was across the highway from the reporting party's residence. Deputies noted he was in a position at the Dollar Tree to observe any movement from the reporting party. Deputies took Devine into custody for violating the protection order. When deputies spoke with the reporting party, they stated that Devine had been messaging her and visiting the party's place of residence. The first contact, they said, happened about five days after Devine had been served with the temporary order of protection. According to police documents, the reporting party showed over 250 messages in a two-day time frame, including pictures of Devine's genitalia. There were also two voice calls and a personal visit to the reporting party's residence.

Police in northeast Ohio arrest man who allegedly menaced GOP US Rep. Max Miller on interstate

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A northeast Ohio man was arrested Thursday on allegations that he threatened and spewed antisemitic epithets at Republican U.S. Rep. Max Miller while the two were traveling on an interstate highway near Cleveland. Police in Rocky River said Feras S. Hamdan, 36, of Westlake, voluntarily turned himself in with counsel present and is awaiting an appearance in municipal court. A message was left with his lawyer seeking comment. Miller, who is Jewish, called 911 while driving on Interstate 90 on his way to work Thursday. He reported that another driver was cutting him off, making profane hand gestures, showing a Palestinian flag and shouting death threats targeted at him and his 1-year-old daughter. After an interview with police, Miller filed a complaint against Hamdan alleging aggravated menacing and sought a criminal protective order. Local police continue to investigate with assistance from the U.S. Capitol Police, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Attorney's office and the Rocky River prosecutor. The Ohio Jewish Caucus praised Rocky River police and extended their thoughts to Miller and his family, noting the incident followed by just days the politically motivated shootings in Minnesota, which left two people dead and two others injured. 'Enough is enough,' the all-Democratic legislative alliance said in a statement. 'There is no place for this type of violence — whether it be political, antisemitic, or ideological — whatsoever. We believe we can solve our differences with humility, not hatred.'
