The Ohio State Highway Patrol arrested online political writer D.J. Byrnes, also known as The Rooster, at the statehouse on June 1 on a misdemeanor warrant.

The patrol did not provide further details. Byrnes' colleague, Max Littman, said he believes the arrest is related to Byrnes texting photos of cartoon character Shrek's penis to a state senator.

Think of Pete Buttigieg, a politician so allergic to public displays of affection with his spouse that his own communications director publicly called him “the Tin Man.”
