A man in Miami County, Ohio, informed local police that he had been approached to participate in a plot to “arrest” Gov. Mike DeWine and put him on trial for “tyranny,” according to multiple reports.

The man, a resident of Piqua who has not been publicly identified, told authorities last Friday that he was contacted by Renea Turner, who staged a write-in campaign for governor in 2018, Cleveland.com reported. Turner has been an outspoken critic of DeWine’s lockdown policies during the coronavirus pandemic.

In a police report viewed by the Ohio Capital Journal, which first reported the investigation, Turner is alleged to have described a plan to arrest DeWine, a Republican, put him on trial and sentence him for purported crimes. Proposed penalties for the governor included exile or execution, according to the report.
