🚨 EXCLUSIVE 🚨
Democrat Ohio Gubernatorial Candidate Amy Acton Drove on a Suspended License And Was Convicted of a First-Degree Misdemeanor, Which She’s Been Covering Up And Hiding From Ohio Voters
In May 1993, “Amy L. Beech”, known today as Amy Acton, @amyactonoh the Democrat nominee for Ohio Governor and the failed former Director of the Ohio Department of Health, was charged under Ohio law with driving under suspension or revocation. She was convicted of a first-degree misdemeanor, and the court reported six points to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
In Franklin County Municipal Court case 1993 TR D 118681, ticket S43543, she was charged for an offense on May 6, 1993, pled no contest, and was found guilty of a first-degree misdemeanor.
This is not a minor traffic infraction.
Section 4507.02(B)(1) of Ohio law from that year barred anyone whose license had been suspended or revoked from driving in Ohio during that suspension.
It was a first-degree misdemeanor under Ohio criminal law, not a parking ticket or a speeding ticket you mail in and forget.
The State Medical Board of Ohio asked physicians a direct question on the 1994 Application for Certificate to Practice Medicine. Amy’s conviction was entered on May 20, 1993. Her Ohio medical license, number 35.066895, was issued less than thirteen months later, on June 16, 1994.
Question 17 on paperwork for her State medical license asked:
“Have you ever been convicted or found guilty of a violation of federal law, state law, or municipal ordinance other than a minor traffic violation?”
Amy answered no. That was a lie.
She had already been found guilty of a first-degree misdemeanor for driving under suspension. She looked the Ohio Medical Board in the face and denied a conviction that was already on the court record.
That was the question. It asked whether she had ever been convicted or found guilty of anything beyond a minor traffic violation.
Driving under suspension is not a minor traffic violation. Under Ohio law from that year, section 4507.02(B), it was a first-degree misdemeanor.
That offense is in the first-degree misdemeanor tier because driving after the state has already taken your driving privilege away is a direct challenge to the licensing system itself.
The public court file still does not say why Amy’s license was suspended in the first place. That remains a mystery. What is not a mystery though is what she did next. She drove anyway. She was stopped. She pleaded no contest. She was found guilty.
Amy Acton has an obligation to explain her record to Ohio voters.
Why did she ignore her driver’s license suspension?
Every Ohioan is expected to follow the law. A candidate for Governor does not get a free pass when the question is whether she treated a state-ordered suspension as optional.
When the Medical Board drew a line between ordinary tickets and real convictions, driving under suspension fell on the side that required an honest answer.
Amy Acton is asking Ohioans to make her Governor.
Before they vote this November, they should read Question 17 as the Board wrote it in 1994, read section 4507.02(B) as the General Assembly wrote it that year, and read the docket as the magistrate entered it: guilty of a first-degree misdemeanor.
They should demand that Amy finally explain the suspension she was under, and why she chose to violate it.
A first-degree misdemeanor for driving under suspension was serious enough for the criminal code. It was serious enough for the Medical Board’s 1993 application to demand disclosure beyond a minor traffic violation.
Pretending otherwise is not nuance. It is deliberate evasion.
Why was her license suspended? Was she caught driving drunk? 👇🏻
