Man accused of beating former girlfriend with 2-foot long summer sausage

Police arrested a man from Butler, Pennsylvania, on Monday, accused of clubbing a former girlfriend with a 2-foot-long beef stick during a weekend domestic dispute. Jesse J. Eaton, 20, is in the Butler County Prison on misdemeanor assault and other charges. Eaton showed up between 4 and 5am on Saturday at his ex-girlfriend’s apartment and began beating on the windows.

He eventually got inside the 21-year-old woman’s home, according to court documents. She told police that Eaton began shouting and breaking pictures frames and a wooden coffee table. He allegedly slapped and pushed the woman before the altercation took an unusual turn. “He started hitting her with a large beef stick,” documents said.



Police said the summer sausage measured about an inch in diameter and was in its package. The victim’s older sister eventually arrived at the apartment. That 24-year-old woman told investigators that she saw Eaton choking her sibling. She said she tried to call 911 but he took the telephone out of her hands and threw it, according to a police affidavit.

 He is accused of grabbing the older sister by the shoulders and slamming her against a wall. Eaton had gone by the time officers got there. Police subsequently got an arrest warrant for him. He was arraigned on charges of simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct, and placed in the prison on $2,500 bail. A preliminary hearing was not immediately scheduled.
