The man was arrested when his mother told police he choked her.
BOARDMAN -- A West Boulevard man was charged with felonious assault and resisting arrest after calling police and reporting that his mother had hit him over the head with a frying pan.
Sean Page, 33, was lodged in the Mahoning County Justice Center, accused of choking his mother.
Police were called Friday evening to an apartment on West Boulevard on a domestic complaint. Page answered the door and was alone in the apartment.
A police report said he was holding a glass of beer and was uncooperative while speaking to officers.
Page had told a police dispatcher that he threw his mother out when she hit him over the head with a frying pan. Police saw a cut under Page's eye and dried blood that had run down his face.
Reports said that Page refused to sit or stand still and appeared to get angry with officers. He was handcuffed for his and officers' safety and told to remain seated in a kitchen chair.
Page was arrested after his mother told police that he had choked her.
Page tried to break out of the handcuffs and resisted arrest, positioning himself in a corner of the room and refusing to move through the apartment doorway, reports said.
Police got him out of the apartment and took him to Forum Health Beeghly Medical Center for treatment to his head. Both of his hands were cuffed to a hospital bed, using two sets of handcuffs, and when police left the room, he jumped off the bed, overturning it.
Police used pepper spray to subdue him, Page was treated and taken to jail.
