Indicted Hocking County Prosecutor Candidate Withdraws From Race

Hocking County Sheriff's Office

The Republican candidate for Hocking County prosecutor has withdrawn from the race after pleading guilty to obstructing official business and criminal trespassing. 36-year-old attorney Jason Sarver pleaded guilty as part of a plea bargain. He was indicted earlier this year on charges of having an affair with one of his clients. A complaint against Sarver  is pending before the Ohio Supreme Court's disciplinary office.
