KENTON COUNTY, Ky. — Eric Deters, a candidate for Kentucky governor, is facing multiple charges after chasing a juvenile down in his truck.
Per court records, Kenton County police were dispatched to Sugar Ridge Farm on Oct. 3 for reports that Deters was chasing his juvenile nephew in his truck.
The nephew said that he drove to the farm to hunt and saw his uncle, Deters, in his respective truck near the mailboxes at the end of the driveway on Green Road. The nephew said he flipped Deters off with his middle finger, per court documents.
After that, Deters chased his nephew in his truck "down the paved driveway, through the Sugar Ridge Farm, across the fields, back onto Green Road near the cemetery, and returning to the gravel parking lot of the farm," per court documents. This distance is allegedly more than a mile.
