Our check against the record

The record does not settle it

Checked against News 5 Cleveland's Sept. 21, 2026 report, which describes a 1998 arrest with no charge and does not mention a May 2026 guilty finding; the Cuyahoga County and Cleveland Municipal Court dockets for Brian Poindexter were not retrieved.

The record: Congressman Max Miller’s race gets dirty, with both sides objecting to attack ads

Context

The ad opens with a television news clip about Poindexter's arrest history; it follows the group's Sept. 30 ad on the same subject.

Topics: Criminal Record.
