YOUNGSTOWN — U.S. District Court Judge Judge Benita Y. Pearson postponed ruling Wednesday on whether Ryan Sheridan, 45, committed a probation violation associated with the kidnapping and domestic violence charges Sheridan faces in an Oct. 23 incident in Austintown.

The kidnapping and domestic violence charges were bound over to a county grand jury Nov. 12, but the grand jury has not yet acted on the matter. At a hearing Wednesday, Sheridan’s attorney asked Pearson to hold the violations in abeyance so that further proceedings can be conducted in the state court cases, and Pearson agreed. Sheridan will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service, according to an entry on the court website.

On Oct. 23, Sheridan was involved in a domestic altercation with a woman in Austintown, according to an Austintown police report. The report states that officers went to the woman’s home at 8:49 p.m., and she said Sheridan was her boyfriend and they lived together for more than a year, then broke up about 10 months ago and started dating again recently. She said Sheridan was not living with her at the time of the incident.

The report states Sheridan lived in Youngstown, but Sheridan told Mahoning County Area Court Judge Scott Hunter in late October his address was in Canfield. He has a Silliman Street address in Youngstown, according to court records.

The victim told police Sheridan came to her home about 7:45 p.m. Oct. 23 to have dinner and hang out, but an argument ensued over the woman taking a walk down the street with a friend, the report states.

The woman said she tried to leave by going to her car in the garage, but Sheridan “came chasing after her and grabbed onto her forcefully, removing her from the car and slamming her onto the ground,” the report states. She said Sheridan then dragged her into the house and pinned her to the couch as she attempted to leave.

After a short time, she acted like she was going outside to tend to her cat. She was planning to go around the house and get into her car again, but Sheridan noticed her and dragged her out of the car and “slammed her onto the ground, at which time her head struck the concrete ground,” the report states.

Sheridan dragged her back into the house and the argument continued, she stated. But later, she acted like she was going to the neighbor’s house to seek help, at which point Sheridan fled from the home. She contacted a friend, who called 911, she stated.

The woman was checked by paramedics, but refused further medical attention. A paramedic who assessed the woman said she had an approximately 2-inch to 3-inch raised bruise on the back left side of her head, the report states. She also had a visible cut on her right knee from being thrown on the ground, the report states. Her pants were ripped.

Police went to an address in Youngstown in search of Sheridan, the report states. Officers were unable to locate Sheridan because they did not know his apartment number and received no response from the apartments where they knocked, the report states.

Sheridan was arraigned Oct. 29 on first-degree felony kidnapping and misdemeanor domestic violence charges in the incident.
