The (Decatur) Herald & Review reports that its media partner WCIA obtained a video that appears to show Levi Lovell confront Davis’ Democratic opponent, Betsy Dirksen Londrigan, and her husband at a Wednesday night fundraiser in Springfield. The video shows Lovell and another man get into a physical altercation.
The Sangamon County Jail confirmed on Thursday that Lovell remained in jail Thursday. Dirksen Londrigan said in a statement that she was disturbed that someone would “try to harass and intimidate me and my family…” Davis’ campaign manager has said that Lovell has since his arrest been fired.
