San Augustine man jailed for throwing grandson against wall, other charges

A San Augustine man remains in jail after he threw his young grandson into a wall.

 

San Augustine Police arrested 48-year old James O’Neil Brown last Friday and charged him with Injury to a Child for refusing to let the 9-year old in out of the rain then committed the physical assault.

 

It was after Brown’s daughter and grandson went to police to report the incident he was taken into custody. He was also charged with Criminal Trespass and Assault by Threat.

 

The youngsters stated after asking his grandfather if he could come inside the house to put on some shoes to keep his feet from getting wet, Brown would not let him in. The boy came inside the house, was hunted down by Brown, who grabbed the youngster by the shirt and reportedly threw him into a wall.

 

The Criminal Trespass and Assault by Threat charges resulted from a separate incident at Sunset Hills complex early on May 15. Brown said he was sprayed in the face with mace at his daughter’s apartment. He got angry, started yelling and threatened her. He then reportedly threw a spray bottled at his daughter, and she then sprayed him with the pepper spray.

 

The report stated because a criminal trespass warning had been issued to Brown, he shouldn’t have been at the apartment complex.
