In a tweet, the official account for Connecticut's Grand Party wrote, "Second Congressional District Candidate Tom Gilmer was arrested late last night. With the severity of the accusations Mr. Gilmer has ended his campaign."
Gilmer was running against Justin Anderson of Salem for a chance to go up against U.S. Representative Joe Courtney
Wethersfield police confirmed Gilmer was charged on a warrant with first-degree unlawful restraint and second-degree strangulation and posted a $5,000 bond.
