COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Ohio congressional candidate was arrested at a "No Kings" protest Saturday afternoon in Grove City, his campaign confirmed.

According to a spokesperson with Don Leonard's campaign, the Democratic candidate for the state's 15th Congressional District is now out of jail and "safe" following his arrest.

Witness video submitted to 10TV shows several officers with the Grove City Division of Police stand around Leonard, who faces a crowd of protesters.

"So we're standing here right now because I grabbed a bullhorn and shared some thoughts with the people and apparently my decibels were a little bit too loud," he can be heard saying in the video.
