KKK Gathering Leads To Arrest Of Butler County Man
A Fairfield Twp. man was cited for aggravated menacing over the weekend during a gathering of Ku Klux Klan members in northwest Ohio.
From 7 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, members of the Ku Klux Klan marched in Mount Victory, a village about 50 miles northwest of Columbus.
“By all accounts this was a semi-organized attempt by the Klan,” said Hardin County Sheriff Keith Everhart. “There were five to seven of them walking around and some of our residents took offense to them and confronted them.”
Kevin A. Gibbs, 22, of the 3000 block of Stockbridge Lane in Fairfield Twp. was cited for aggravated menacing and obstructing justice after witnesses said he pulled a revolver from his holster, pointed it to the ground and told a 46-year-old black man from the nearby village of Ridgeway, “I will kill you,” according to police reports.
Everhart said Gibbs was legally carrying the weapon, and no other citations were issued from the gathering.
“They were over in the area and I reacted to it and I shouldn’t have,” said Kenneth Ratleff, the alleged victim. “I told them, ‘We don’t need this kind of garbage in the area.’ It’s a good community.”
Gibbs has a summons to appear in Hardin County Municipal Court April 2. Attempts to reach Gibbs on Wednesday were unsuccessful.
Everhart said his office is continuing to investigate the incident and where the Klan members came from. Some participants wore robes or jackets with KKK insignia.
Mount Victory had 627 residents and 615 of them were white, according to the 2010 Census.
