According to sources, Reynolds was detained and charged with a third-degree crime for failing to comply with the Constitutional Carry Law and its regulations and a fourth-degree felony for illegally handling a firearm.
The Ohio Revised Code required a background check and firearm training to receive a concealed carry license; however, the new Constitutional Carry Law allows “qualified adults” to carry, possess, or disguise a handgun legally without having to do either of those things.
Also, two counts of defacing a firearm, criminal tool possession, underage alcohol consumption, possession of drug paraphernalia, and standard equipment violation were filed against Reynolds. All of these charges are misdemeanors.
