Overview
- Feras Hamdan pleaded guilty to obstructing official business, reckless driving and disorderly conduct, receiving one year of probation, 100 hours of community service and an 86-day suspended jail term.
- Hours after the plea, Hamdan filed a civil defamation suit alleging Rep. Max Miller lied about threats and being run off the road, causing reputational harm.
- The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office said Miller agreed to a deal that allowed Hamdan to keep his medical license and warned the lawsuit may backfire.
- Hamdan’s complaint points to Tesla telemetry and traffic footage to claim his passenger window was closed and no erratic steering occurred, while released cellphone video captures insults but no audible threats.
- Miller’s attorney called the plea proof of guilt, said a counterclaim will be filed over alleged antisemitic conduct and urged an Ohio medical board investigation.
