Robert J. Jones, 35, of 418 Lincoln Ave. NW, was arrested on charges of felony domestic violence and endangering children

A Canton man was behind bars Wednesday, accused of slamming a teenage relative’s head into a refrigerator door “for eating all the sausages,” police said.

Robert J. Jones, 35, of 418 Lincoln Ave. NW, was arrested at 9:01 p.m. Tuesday at Seventh Street and Newton Avenue NW on charges of felony domestic violence and endangering children, Stark County Jail records said.

The boy’s mother had called 911 at 8:34 p.m. Tuesday, telling arriving police that she walked into the kitchen and saw her husband with his arm around the boy’s neck, said Lt. James Cole of the Canton Police Department. She told the officers that after she broke up the scuffle, Jones continued to yell at the boy “for eating all the sausages,” Cole said.

The woman told police that Jones then slammed the refrigerator door, knocking out some of the food. When the boy went to clean it up, he slammed the boy’s head into the refrigerator door and then fled as she called police, Cole said the officers were told.

Canton Fire Department medics took the boy to Mercy Medical Center with what appeared to be a non-life-threatening injury, Cole said.

Jones was arrested a short time later.

He remained in the jail early Wednesday, held in lieu of $51,000 bond pending a hearing in Canton Municipal Court.
