Michael Pavlik Jr. gets two months in jail on domestic-violence charge

YOUNGSTOWN — Michael Pavlik Jr., brother of boxing champion Kelly Pavlik, will be spending the next two months in the Mahoning County jail.

Pavlik was in the Mahoning County Common Pleas Court today before Judge R. Scott Krichbaum for sentencing on a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence.

He had initially been charged with felony domestic violence, but the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor in a plea agreement.

According to a police report, Pavlik and a 33-year-old woman became involved in a physical altercation at a Cornell Street home just before midnight one late November evening. The woman told police Pavlik punched her in the eye, threw her into a coffee table and dragged her across the floor.
