Pocketknives, Other Items Confiscated at Romney Rally Need to go Back to Their Owners

North Canton police ask that those who had their pocketknives and other items confiscated at the Mitt Romney rally Friday night come into the department to retrieve their belongings

The North Canton Police Department is housing a box of pocketknives and other "restricted items" that you can't take into a rally for a presidential candidate.

Transportation Security Administration workers confiscated the items from rally-goers Friday night at Hoover High School's baseball field. Then, nearly 10,000 people showed for the "Friday Night Victory Rally with Mitt & Paul."

Anyone who can identify their items can claim them at the North Canton Police Department, 145 N. Main St.
