Wood County candidate has list of arrests
One of five Republicans vying for a spot on the November ballot to fill longtime Wood County Commissioner Alvie Perkins' former seat was arrested four times in the 1990s for fights, making threats, and, in one case, breaking a car window outside a bar. In the last incident in 1998, Richard Ruffner was charged with aggravated menacing and assault after putting a man in a chokehold. Mr. Ruffner, now 49, conceded he had "some indiscretions from when I was younger," but insisted all that is behind him.
