Cincinnati Council Candidate Arrested in Alleged Break-In at GOP Congressional Hopeful’s Home

His name remains on the ballot despite a late withdrawal announcement.

Overview

  • Kevin Farmer, 39, was arrested after prosecutors said video showed him smashing a garage window and entering Rosemary Oglesby-Henry’s Westwood home around 3:26 a.m.
  • He is charged with felony burglary and violating a protection order and is held at the Hamilton County Detention Center on $60,000 bond, with an ankle monitor required if released.
  • Court records show Oglesby-Henry previously obtained a protective order after July assault and domestic-violence charges she filed against Farmer were later dropped.
  • Police arrested Oglesby-Henry in late September on an aggravated menacing allegation for reportedly pointing a gun at Farmer; she denied the claim and said no firearm was recovered.
  • Farmer told local media he would exit the council race but remains on the Nov. 4 ballot, while Oglesby-Henry continues her 2026 GOP primary campaign to challenge Rep. Greg Landsman.
