Kevin Cichowski, a 46-year-old Florida man running for governor and previously ran for mayor, was arrested after a disturbance with a weapon. Deputies responded to a home on Cleveland Court after a report that Cichow had assaulted two elderly victims, hitting one with a cane and throwing a cellphone at the other, and threatening to kill them if they were called. After evacuating the victims, deputies made contact with Cichows and he was taken into custody without incident. He is facing multiple counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, battery on a person over 65, tampering with a witness, and two counts of robbery by sudden snatching. Prior arrests were for domestic battery, domestic battery by strangulation, and false imprisonment.
