DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Prosecutors have reached a plea agreement with
an Ohio man who was accused of carrying an unlawful knife outside an
Iowa hotel where presidential candidate Barack Obama and his family
stayed during a campaign visit in July 2007.
Armenian native Davit Zakaryan is expected to plead guilty to a simple
misdemeanor charge of interference with official acts.
Prosecutors this month dismissed the knife charge as part of a
plea deal. Wapello County attorney Allen Cook says that under the
agreement, Zakaryan will get a 30-day suspended sentence and pay a
minimum fine. He will not have to serve any time in jail unless he
violates terms set by the court.
Zakaryan was living in Cincinnati but selling campaign memorabilia
in Iowa.
