Police: Husband strikes disabled wife with cane

By Beacon Journal staff

A woman confined to a wheelchair was beaten with her cane by her estranged husband, who had become angry over her request that he fix her TV, police said.

Johnathan Joseph, 55, is charged with two counts of domestic violence, according to Akron Municipal Court records.

The woman, Deborah Goodwin, 57, of Akron, was treated at Akron General Medical Center.

Joseph went to Goodwin's apartment Friday to retrieve some property after the couple's separation, police said. As he was disconnecting cable TV wires, police say he became angry when Goodwin asked him if he would fix the cable so she could watch TV.

Police say Joseph took the woman's cane and beat her several times. She suffered multiple bruises and bumps to her head, jaw and hands, police said.

Goodwin's daughter, Valeshia Goodwin, 27, tried to intervene and was attacked with the cane as well, police said. She had injuries to her head.

Joseph appeared in municipal court today. He was being held in the Summit County Jail.

Wow! if he couldn't fix the tv, then he should have just said so, if it was unreparible, he should have used the cane on the tv insteasd.

He was under "emotional distress". Luckily he didn't have access to a shotgun.
