The former Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives has been indicted on multiple state felony charges related to the misuse of campaign funds and ethics violations, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced on March 26.

This comes after Larry Householder, a Republican, was already convicted on federal charges last year, with the new charges potentially ending his ability to hold public office in Ohio permanently.
