COLUMBUS: The man chosen by Ohio Republicans to run for attorney general in November is a former federal attorney who prosecuted baseball great Pete Rose in a tax evasion case, two newspapers reported today.
The Columbus Dispatch and the Dayton Daily News, both citing sources they did not name, reported on their Web sites that the party has chosen D. Michael Crites, who is now a managing partner of a Columbus law firm.
GOP political director Jason Mauk told The Associated Press that he wouldn't confirm the report — first posted by the Dispatch — but said the party will have an announcement soon. A message seeking comment was left today for Crites.
Crites, who was a federal prosecutor from 1986-93, prosecuted Rose in 1990, a year after Rose agreed to a lifetime ban when major league baseball concluded he had bet on the Cincinnati Reds while managing the team.
Rose pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns and served five months in prison. He admitted he failed to report $354,968 in income from autograph appearances, memorabilia sales and gambling.
The GOP candidate will face Democratic state Treasurer Richard Cordray in the attorney general race this fall. Cordray was elected in 2006, taking the office from Republicans who had held it for 12 years.
Democrat Marc Dann resigned as attorney general in May amid a sexual harassment scandal involving members of his staff. The scandal also saw three Dann aides forced from their jobs, and Dann admitted to having an affair with a subordinate.
The state inspector general is looking into the harassment allegations. No criminal charges have been filed.
