Police arrested an armed worker Tuesday at a Cleveland polling station.

Cleveland police spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said that police took a man into custody about noon at the Louisa May Alcott School in the 10000 block of Baltic Road.

He faces charges of aggravated menacing, carrying concealed weapon and having weapons under a disability. He also faces a marijuana possession charge as police found a small amount of marijuana in his pocket when he was arrested, Ciaccia said.

The man got into an argument with a fellow poll worker and pulled a .380 pistol out of his backpack, Ciaccia said. He didn't point the gun at anyone, but verbally threatened people, she added.

1. Sheesh! I'm glad this ended like it did instead of otherwise.

Good grief!

2. Me too. If I can't handle life without a gun in my hand,

I'm not signing up for polling duty.

3. Agreed.

One might think that a polling place is NOT the right place to take your gun. But that's probably the problem....the "thinking" part.

There are idiots amongst us! Idiots!

7. "Aggravated menacing?"

2903.21 Aggravated menacing. (A) No person shall knowingly cause another to believe that the offender will cause serious physical harm to the person or property of the other person, the other person's unborn, or a member of the other person's immediate family.

Trump?

“I’d like to punch him in the face, I’ll tell you.”

“In the good old days this doesn’t happen, because they used to treat them very, very rough.”

“I love the old days. You know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks.”

“If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would ya? Seriously. Just knock the hell out of them.”

Dude could easily have been a Dem. The Stupid Party doesn't have a monopoly on angry armed idiots. Visit the Gungeon if you need further evidence.
