Inmate Destroys TV In Solon Jail

SOLON, OH — A Solon man is racking up quite the list of charges over a one week span. After being charged with menacing and trespassing, Akshay Singh, 35, was charged with criminal damage after he destroy a television in Solon Jail. Singh was reportedly in a fit of rage at the time of the incident.

Singh was arrested on June 13 when he went to his uncle's house and refused to leave. The uncle repeatedly asked Singh to leave, and when the 35-year-old refused, the uncle contacted police. Instead of keeping the rage in-family, Singh refused orders from police to leave the home and was arrested.

He was released from Solon Jail later that day and Singh went looking for his wife. He thought she was at his uncle's house, so he got a baseball bat and returned to the address where he had just been arrested. Again, the uncle called police and again Singh was arrested. This time he was charged with menacing and trespassing. He was held pending arraignment.

Then on June 17, Singh got rowdy in Solon Jail. He told police he wanted to talk to his wife. Police refused the request because Singh's wife has a restraining order against him. Singh demanded they allow him to call her and when police again refused, he destroyed the television in the common area of the cell dorm.
