Loris Zappia

Henry Davis Jr. made the statement in a press conference about a month before the Nov. 3 election.

With still a month to go, the race between Democratic incumbent Jason Cichowicz and Republican Loris Zappia has included an alleged assault by a candidate, blame for a murder, and a defamation lawsuit

The attorney told commissioners about the alleged assault and said Loris Zappia had threatened him also. Commissioners say they've found no credible threat against Misch.

The Republican St. Joseph County Probate Judge candidate allegedly hit and spat on his brother Len Zappia, who works for Loris' opponent Jason Cichowicz
