(COLUMBUS, Ohio)?Ohio Governor DeWine has issued the following statement:
?I have spoken with Ohio State Highway Patrol Col. Richard Fambro about security at the Statehouse, and I shared with him my anger and disgust at the vandalism that occurred at the Ohio Statehouse yesterday. ?I support the right to peacefully protest. However, defacing, damaging, and vandalizing our state capitol and its grounds are wrong, and such actions are criminal. The Ohio State Highway Patrol is conducting a criminal investigation into yesterday?s acts, and they will send their findings to the appropriate authorities for potential prosecution.?
