Man Handcuffs Wife Inside Dog Cage

04/14/2008 14:25:40


CANTON, Ohio (AP) -- A man is accused of handcuffing his wife inside a dog cage days after they were married in Las Vegas.

Canton police Lt. Greg Boudreaux says 28-year-old Matthew George also fired gunshots inside the home. His wife, Mary Swihart, was not injured. George was found in a car pulled to the side of the road early Sunday in neighboring Springfield Township. Boudreaux says George had taken a large number of pills and was hospitalized at Akron City Hospital.

A spokeswoman says George wasn't at the hospital Monday.

Boudreaux says charges of abduction, assault and domestic violence are pending.

Canton bride spends honeymoon handcuffed in dog cage

CANTON -- A Canton man faces abduction, felonious assault, domestic violence, and child endangering charges after police say he handcuffed his wife inside a dog cage for days after their Las Vegas wedding.

Canton Police came to Matthew George's home after a 911 call from Mary Swihart's father telling police shots were fired in the home.

"There's a baby there," Patrick Swihart told the dispatcher. "She just got married to this clown."

"There were in excess of about 16 shell casings that were inside the house," Lt. Jim Cole of the Canton Police Department said about the shots fired and the .45 recovered.

Police kicked down the door and found a dog cage with handcuffs in the dining room. Then, they heard Mary's story.

"It's very bizarre," Cole, a police veteran of 25 years, said. "She told our officers that for approximately four days she was held captive inside the cage by her husband."

The incident was a shock to neighbor Daniel Donovan.

"I was very surprised," Donovan said. "I was friendly with Matt and never, ever would have dreamed that that sort of thing was going on."

The situation had Mary sharing the cage with the couple's two pit bulls.

"She was handcuffed inside the cage for two to four hours at a time," Cole said. "He would release her, re-handcuff her on the outside of the cage and let two dogs that they had inside the cage."

The couple had been together for years and Mary had her 15-month-old son's name tattooed in Arabic on her left wrist.

Neighbors say it wasn't the first disturbance at the home.

"I know that there was always disputes and fights but that was totally, totally unbelievable," Donovan said.

George fled the home before police arrived and was eventually found in a car pulled to the side of the road early Sunday in neighboring Springfield Township.

Police say George had taken a large number of pills and was hospitalized at Akron City Hospital.

Police say George has a history of drug and disorderly conduct charges.

Swihart and her baby, Khalil, are currently at her parents' home in Canton.

Man Accused of Caging Wife Held on $5 Million Bond

04/17/2008 15:16:15


CANTON, Ohio (AP) -- A judge in Canton has ordered a 5 million dollar bond for a man accused of caging and shooting at his new bride.

Matthew George is accused of handcuffing his wife, Mary Swihart, and putting her in a dog cage the size of a 4-foot cube.

Police say the 28-year-old also fired several shots at her feet while their 15-month-old child was in an adjoining room. George faces charges of abduction, felonious assault and domestic violence.

Municipal Court Judge Richard Kubilus today ordered a higher bond at the request of Canton Prosecutor Frank Forchione, who called the acts intolerable.

Police say the couple had been married less than a week before George fired shots at her Saturday.

A message seeking comment was left with George's attorney, Sean Ruffin.

    I'll have to agree with both of them needing help. Because to me it seems that neither one of them is thinking clearly. If the woman was thinking clearly she wouldnt have married the guy in the first place. And, if the man was thinking clearly he would have tried to talk the woman out of marrying him or whatever their problem was towards each other they both would have sat down and tryied to work it out, before it ever lead to the actions and consequences that it did, if they were both thinking clearly.

    Thanks once more JDC cross carrier. I appreciate everything comment and thought you deliver my way. They encourage me and helps to stay on the possitive side of life rather than the negative. You are a true friend to me and I love you for everything youre doing. I am also glad to have gotten to know some about you also, and really hope to get to know more about you.

    My Pastor always says stay positive, the devils main goal is to get some one on the negative side of life! No one wants to be around some one who has nothing good to say.
    Your desire to serve GOD and HIS word encourages me, when I come across one of your response I stop and read it with a great big smile on my face!

    JDC cross carrier, I know I always start off by thanking you for your encouraging comments. But, truly I really do appreciate them all, even when Im having a mad day, I sign in to soda head and immediately began to search to see if you've left me a comment. And, after I read your comment a great smile slowly begans to expand across my face. Every once in a while a tear will slowly began to stream down my face, as I day by day thank God for you. In order to have a friend, you must first show yourself friendly.

    Hebrews 3:13
    but exhort one anther daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

    Christians are supposed to encourage one another and remind each other that they are children of a loving God- empowered by His strength and covered by His grace. It's your official job as a Christian to encourage you friend. Be there when he needs you and cheer him on. There will come a day when you'll be the one who needs this encouragement. Your friend will be happy to return the favor.

    This guy has some serious problems like control issues and just plain nuts to shoot a weapon inside the house. I have a feeling he may of done this to scare his new bride into doing what he wanted her to do. Plus, a 15 month old baby in the house with this guys anger problem could of been a disaster for the baby too. I think this guy needs to be checked psychologically first then hang out with Bubba in jail for some time. If this guy doesn't have any previous record of violence then his jail sentence should be short and he may be able to be helped if he doesn't have mental problems on top of it. but if he has too many problems then he needs to stay for a while. Regardless, he needs some time in jail with Bubba and maybe he will realize what it is like to sleep with dogs, handcuffed, and no control of the situation.

    I think he is a looney but the story is missing a lot.It needs to be fleshed out.

    He either belongs in Jail/prison or the looney bin with others of his ilk.
