Happened for me in the 2020 election for local jail warden. The Democrat was a lady that was the Deputy Warden under the previous Warden, who was ousted for the worst death statistics of any jail in the country. The Republican candidate just had some attempted/accidental tax evasion that they paid fines for and paid the taxes retroactively. Since he didn’t literally have blood on his hands, I voted for the Republican guy in that race. That is the first and last time so far since I started voting in 1998.
