A newly released Bexley Police Department 911 call log has added details to a 2019 domestic disturbance involving Amy Acton, the Democratic nominee for governor of Ohio, including that her daughter was the person who contacted police that night, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

The call was made on Aug. 17, 2019, while Acton was serving as director of the Ohio Department of Health.

According to the Bexley police log, the call was classified as a priority-one domestic disturbance and was placed at approximately 9:45 p.m.

The dispatcher’s narrative identified Acton’s daughter as the caller and described a dispute involving Acton and her husband, Eric Acton.

“Stepdad and mom are fighting, and mom has been drinking and throwing things and breaking glass. Daughter has left house and heading to her dad's.”

The newly released record was reported by Laura Loomer in August.

Earlier reporting on the 2019 incident had identified the caller only as an adult family member, while Bexley police said the original dispatch audio was no longer available.

The police response itself had already been reported publicly earlier this year. A Bexley police report said officers determined that Acton and her husband had become involved in a verbal argument concerning her extended work hours.

According to the report, Acton became upset because she believed her husband was antagonizing her. While walking down the stairs, she “grabbed hold of the mirror on the wall and pulled it down, shattering the glass.”

The report also states that both Acton and her husband told officers they had been drinking. Acton told police she had taken “an unknown amount of prescription medication.”

Acton reportedly went to the garage intending to leave in her vehicle, but her husband persuaded her not to do so. Columbus Fire medics responded and advised her to go to a hospital. She declined.

Despite the circumstances described in the report, officers concluded that there was no evidence of physical violence between the couple and characterized the incident as a “verbal dispute only.”

No arrests or charges resulted from the 2019 incident.

Acton and her campaign have disputed some of the characterizations surrounding the incident. Her campaign has said she had one drink at dinner and was not intoxicated.

The campaign also said the prescription medication referenced by police was medication she had routinely taken for migraines.

Acton has described the episode as a normal disagreement and objected to its use in the current governor's race.

“Seeing that there was just a normal routine fight, [the police] left,” Acton said. “To blow it up, to bring family into it, to lie or to make the extrapolations — it's just what you tend to expect in politics at this point.”

Her husband, Eric Acton, has also disputed the suggestion that Amy Acton was intoxicated. In a statement reported by local media, he said he was the one who had consumed too much alcohol.

“Seven years ago, I had too much to drink while Amy only had one drink. I started the verbal argument while she tried to de-escalate the situation, and eventually went to bed,” he said.

The newly disclosed 911 log does not establish that Acton was intoxicated, and the police report itself does not make that determination.

Instead, it records the caller's description of what was happening inside the home before officers arrived. The police report likewise records Acton's statement that she had been drinking and had taken an unknown amount of prescription medication.

The issue has resurfaced during Acton's campaign for governor, where Republican nominee Vivek Ramaswamy and groups supporting him have used the 2019 incident in campaign advertising. Acton has rejected allegations concerning alcohol or drug abuse.

The controversy comes as Acton faces Ramaswamy in the November gubernatorial election.

Acton, a physician and former Ohio health director, became nationally known during the COVID-19 pandemic while serving in the administration of Republican Gov. Mike DeWine. She served as Ohio's health director from February 2019 until June 2020.

The 2019 incident itself did not result in criminal charges. Police documented a domestic dispute, spoke with the people involved, obtained medical assistance for Acton, and concluded there was no evidence of physical violence.

The newly released call log provides additional information about how police became involved: according to the record, it was Acton's daughter who called 911 and reported that her mother had been drinking, throwing things, and breaking glass before leaving the residence for her father's home.

Separately, Acton was involved in another incident at the Canfield Fair on Sept. 6, 2026, when authorities arrested 38-year-old Patrick Havas after he allegedly pushed through a crowd toward her.

Authorities said Havas had multiple weapons, although investigators said they were not brandished or removed from their holsters. Acton was not injured. Havas was booked on assault and disorderly conduct charges.

The two incidents are unrelated, but the timing has brought renewed attention to the 2019 police records as Ohio voters head toward the November election.
