Ravenna man held on weapons charges after No Kings rally incident

A 20-year-old Ravenna man was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon and receiving stolen property at the No Kings rally on Oct. 18 in Kent after a scuffle broke out over the Trump flag he was carrying, police said.

The incident became a local flashpoint of the weekend protest in which an estimated 2,000 people lined the streets of downtown Kent and Ravenna to voice disapproval of the Trump administration.
