A bodyguard for the family of Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has been arrested on charges of drug trafficking.
Justin Salsburey, a 23-year-old resident of Bellefontaine, Ohio, was arrested along with his wife, Urbana schoolteacher Ruthann Rankin, on Dec. 30, according to WSYX-TV.
Prosecutors say 261 parcels containing counterfeit OxyContin pills (later found to contain fentanyl), as well as other fentanyl and methamphetamine pills, were delivered to the couple’s home between August 2024 and December 2025.
The couple have been charged with conspiracy to distribute or intent to distribute 40 grams or more of a substance containing fentanyl and methamphetamine, as well as possession with intent to distribute a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of fentanyl and methamphetamine, according to federal court records.
Ramaswamy, a 2024 presidential candidate and tech entrepreneur, lives in suburban Columbus with his wife and two young sons.
A campaign spokeswoman for Amy Acton, the Democratic frontrunner for governor, declined comment Thursday.
There needs to be a full investigation into this matter to ensure that Ramaswamy isn't personally involved in the trafficking operation or perhaps a drug user user himself. Either way, he's demonstrated that he sucks at hiring people and shouldn't be trusted in any public position.
