Ohio state Rep. Bob Young indicted on domestic violence and assault charges after allegedly striking wife​

One week after first being arrested for allegedly striking his wife and fighting with his brother, Ohio state Rep. Bob Young has been indicted on the following charges by a Summit County grand jury:

• One Count of Domestic Violence – a Misdemeanor of the 1st Degree
• One Count of Assault – a Misdemeanor of the 1st Degree

After news of Young's arrest was first made public, Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens — a fellow Republican — called for him to resign.

[Young so far has indicated he won't resign. from his response to the media:]

"Recently, I have undervalued Christ as a priority in my family’s life."
"I ask fair-minded people for grace to allow my family and I to deal with this privately and to reserve judgment until all the facts can be brought to light."

From other coverage:

The sheriff’s office has only released an incident report on the case as of Tuesday afternoon and initially declined to release normally available records, including 911 calls, body-camera videos and other information requested by the Beacon Journal.
