Police can't question suspect in vandalism of slain man's meter

CANTON: A North Canton man whose neighbor was found beheaded over the weekend will return to Canton Municipal Court on charges of vandalizing the dead man's electric meter.
Judge Mary Falvey continued William D. Perry's $150,000 bond Wednesday and issued a court order banning anyone from interviewing Perry ''regarding the above case or any other criminal matter that may be under investigation.''
Defense attorneys Tony Koukoutas and Rick Pitinii had sought the order to prevent the North Canton Police Department from questioning Perry about the Saturday death of Brett W. Smith without the attorneys being present.
Smith, 34, lived one block from Perry in the Evergreen Mobile Home Complex off Main Street in North Canton. Smith's body was discovered by his mother, Judy Smith of Hartville, in the bathroom of his mobile home shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday. The head was found in another room.
Koukoutas said they would consider requesting a reduction in bond high for just a felony vandalism charge.
''At this moment in time, we can't comment on that,'' Koukoutas said. ''It's the court's discretion on setting the bond.''
Pitinii was more to the point when asked whether he thought Perry was a suspect in Smith's death, which was ruled a homicide by North Canton police on Tuesday.
''If he [Perry] wasn't a suspect, they wouldn't have him in jail on a $150,000,'' Pitinii said.
The Stark County Coroner's Office announced it had completed the autopsy of Smith, but would not release any information.
The North Canton Police Department also announced that it will not release any further information about Smith's slaying or the early Tuesday morning arrest of Perry.
Police are asking for anyone with information about Smith's death to contact the detective bureau at 330-499-5911, the anonymous tip line at 330-966-3633 or the department's Web site at http://www.northcantonpolice.org.
