A Democrat running to fill a vacated congressional seat in Rhode Island will carry on with his campaign despite criminal charges against him.
Michael Neary is staying in the race for the 2nd Congressional District primary after being arrested last month in Ohio for allegedly following a couple for nearly 70 miles from an airport in Columbus to Troy.
The couple did not know him, and the wife, Candy Poland, was so terrified that she was unable to speak to the police, according to the police report. Police said they found a half-empty bottle of whiskey in his vehicle and that he admitted to smoking marijuana.“There’s just a lot of the story that hasn’t been told yet,” he told the outlet, declining to elaborate.
“I’m keeping in touch with close friends at the moment and trying to work through some stuff,” he added. “I’m a candidate in the race, and a lot more is going to be forthcoming in the coming days and weeks.” The congressional candidate gave police an inconsistent account of why he followed the couple, first claiming he thought he recognized the car, then insisting he was interested in the Ohio registration on the car, according to reports. He provided police with an Ohio address and appears to be residing in the state.
