Grand Jury Indicts Newly Elected Ohio Tea Party Representative On Three Felony Counts


Grand Jury Indicts Newly Elected Ohio Tea Party Representative On Three Felony Counts (VIDEO)
Author: Randa Morris November 23, 2014 4:28 pm

An Ottawa County, Ohio Grand Jury recently indicted newly elected Tea Party state representative, Steven Kraus, on three felony charges. The Grand Jury found that there is probable cause to try Kraus for burglary, theft and breaking and entering.

Kraus, who made his living as a real estate agent and auctioneer prior to being elected as an Ohio state representative on November 4, 2014, was seen leaving a residence with ‘loads of items in boxes.’ According to the police report, Kraus was seen carrying the boxes out the back door of the residence, and loading them into a waiting van. The witness took photos of the incident.

The property owner reported a long list of property missing from the home, including jewelry, antiques, collector’s items, musical instruments and more.

Kraus claims that he was instructed to take the items from the home by the real estate agent who was handling the sale of the home. The real estate agent denies ever giving Kraus permission to enter the home. She testified that she had asked Kraus to take photos of an automobile which the family wanted put up for auction. The car was located in a detached garage, not in the upstairs attic, where Kraus apparently went snooping in the dark, with a flashlight.

Kraus, who must get his lines from the standard republican playbook titled ‘How to Respond When You’re Caught Red-Handed Committing A Crime’ claimed the charges were politically motivated.
