LOUISVILLE, Ky. —

A man was arrested in Louisville's Portland neighborhood on Tuesday after police say he was causing trouble at a polling location, even preventing someone from voting.

Police said Jacen Cockerell, 40, was making threats toward voters and damaged a voting machine at a polling location.

Louisville Metro Police Department said it happened at the Molly Leonard Portland Community Center around 9:15 a.m.

When officers arrived, they were told Cockerell was wielding a flag on a fishing pole while making threatening gestures toward voters.

LMPD said that Cockerell intimidated at least one voter at the location, preventing them from voting. They said he also ripped off the printer to one of the voting machines.

Cockerell is being charged with menacing, tampering with destruction of a voting machine and interfering with an election.

He was booked into Louisville Metro Department of Corrections.

Is the Molly Leonard Portland Community Center a Louisville Republican stronghold?

Jacen was trying to intimidate Republican voters.

Darwin award? You need to remove yourself from the gene pool COMPLETELY to be a nominee.

Is he dead? Has he reproduced already? Only if the answers are (in order) YES, or if not then NO, he’s just another idiot.
