FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. — Kevin Cichowski, an aspiring Florida governor who declared his candidacy for the Democratic primary, faced domestic violence charges on Monday.
Cichowski, 46, a 2021 Palm Coast mayoral candidate, injured his 82-year-old father and his 76-year-old mother on Friday at their home in Palm Coast, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputy’s arrest report.
Cichowski struck his father on the head with a firearm that he also pointed at his mouth, ear, and groin, while he “threatened to shoot and kill him,” according to the deputy’s arrest report.
His mother — who was bedridden — reported Chichowski snatched her cellphone and struck her in the head with it, and she suffered “a clear injury,” according to the deputy’s arrest report.
During the attack, Chichowski told them that if they called 911, he would kill them and law enforcement, according to the deputy’s arrest report.
Chichowski faced six charges: Two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of battery on a person over 65, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and tampering or depriving a witness with the use of 911.
