CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — A 33-year-old Circleville man is in the Pickaway County Jail on felony strangulation, assault, and domestic-violence charges after an Oct. 4 domestic disturbance at a South Court Street apartment, according to Circleville police reports and jail records.
Officers arrested Jeffrey M. Kennedy after responding to the disturbance, police said. The victim requested a protection order, according to court records.
Court records also show Kennedy has a prior case from 2011 in which he reportedly assaulted his 18-day-old infant son, fracturing the child’s skull and causing brain bleeding, according to court documents. The infant was treated at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
Charges are allegations. Everyone is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
