Charges filed against Ohio man who struck No Kings protester; officials say it was an accident
CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Jackson Township man was charged Tuesday after police said he struck a ‘No Kings’ protester with his truck earlier this month.
Donald Frank, 77, hit a woman with his truck during the protest and sped away from the scene, prosecutors said.
Officials said the crash was accidental. Jackson Township Police Chief Mark Brink said in a statement that Frank had no intention of hitting the protester.
Frank is charged in Massillon Municipal Court with fleeing the scene of an accident and swerving off the road. Both charges are misdemeanors. He is scheduled for arraignment on Nov. 13.
It is unclear what injuries the woman suffered, but they were not serious enough to warrant felony charges, according to a statement from Jackson Township police.
The crash happened about 2 p.m. on Oct. 18 during a protest against President Donald Trump.
Police said Frank was driving his Ford F-150 westbound on Fulton Drive NW when he swerved to the right, drove over a curb, and struck a pedestrian who was standing about two feet off the curb, according to the crash report and police statements.
Following the crash, protesters took to social media to report that a man in a white truck had been seen driving past the demonstration and making obscene gestures before the incident.
Brink said evidence from license plate readers, 911 calls, video and interviews with Frank showed he was not the person who had been harassing protesters before the accident.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — A Central Ohio family has filed a lawsuit against a Hilliard funeral home after their mother was accidentally cremated, despite plans for her to be buried.
According to court documents, Tidd Funeral Home cremated Nancy Anders in June of last year against the family’s wishes. The lawsuit states Anders died a week earlier in May.
The family says Anders had planned and prepaid for funeral arrangements two years before her death to be buried with her late husband. The arrangements did not include cremation because, the family says, she did not believe in the concept.
The lawsuit says the family was told a week after her death that she had been accidentally cremated. It also accuses Tidd Funeral Home of cremating her even though the proper authorization form was never signed.
The family says they have suffered physical illness and emotional trauma and are seeking $25,000 in damages. They are also asking for the case to be decided by a jury.
ABC 6 reached out to the funeral home for comment but had not heard back.
