Austin Durrer, campaign manager for Democrat Florida gubernatorial contender Charlie Crist, has been arrested on charges of domestic violence.

On Oct. 20, the Crist campaign said that Durrer would depart to deal with a family issue. Durrer was arrested a few days prior in Cambridge, Maryland, on second-degree assault charges, Fox News reported. The case is classified as “domestic violence,” and he was released on a $10,000 bond. The court asked Durrer to vacate his home and surrender his firearm. The Crist campaign’s Thursday announcement of Durrer’s departure did not mention the domestic violence arrest.
