A shocking incident has emerged from Florida involving a gubernatorial candidate, Kevin Cichowski, who has been arrested under grave charges. Cichowski, who is in the race to succeed Governor Ron DeSantis, is facing multiple accusations including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery on individuals aged over 65.
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office has released a detailed report stating that Cichowski is also charged with aggravated battery, tampering with a witness, and robbery by sudden snatching. This serious situation is unfolding as Cichowski was aspiring for one of the state’s highest offices.
Efforts to reach out to Cichowski’s campaign for a statement have so far been unsuccessful, as no immediate response has been provided to inquiries from Oxygen.
The incident reportedly took place on April 10, when authorities responded to a disturbance at the Palm Coast residence of Cichowski and his elderly parents, Stanley and Christine Cichowski. According to the charging affidavit obtained by Oxygen, the police were alerted by Christine, who is bedridden, following the violent altercation.
In a distressing call to 911, Christine revealed that her son, Kevin, had attacked his father with a cane and had thrown a phone at her, leading to injuries and bleeding for both parents. The allegations paint a troubling picture of domestic violence involving an individual seeking public office.
The couple claimed the conflict started the previous evening when Kevin unplugged their TV because he wanted to go to bed, according to the affidavit. When Stanley attempted to fix it, Kevin allegedly struck him with Stanley’s cane. Then, when Christine said she was calling 911, Kevin allegedly snatched her phone and hit her on the head with it, causing a laceration and later a contusion.
He also allegedly threw a remote in his mother’s direction and, when she ducked, slapped her, per the affidavit.
At one point, Stanley grabbed a revolver, telling police it was for protection, per the doc. But Kevin allegedly snatched it from his dad’s hands, hit him with it, pointed it at him and threatened to kill both his parents. He also allegedly said he would shoot responding officers in the legs.
When Kevin left the room, Stanley locked the door, while Christine finally called 911.
Police found the couple hiding in their bedroom, per the press release, and ordered Kevin to surrender.
“I haven’t done anything wrong,” he told officers during his detainment, as seen in footage obtained by Oxygen. “This is insane.”
While being transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, Kevin began making “suicidal statements,” the press released noted, “and was placed into protective custody under a Baker Act.” The Florida law offers crisis services for those experiencing mental illness, according to its website.
In 2024, Kevin—who previously campaigned for mayor of Palm Coast in 2021—was arrested for kidnapping and domestic battery by strangulation against his wife, police noted in the affidavit, for which he was not convicted.
Kevin’s arraignment hearing is scheduled for May 5, according to court documents. Oxygen could not reach an attorney for Kevin.
