CANTON, Ohio -- The Stark County man accused of locking his new wife in a dog cage will face a judge on Thursday.

Matthew George, 28, was released from the hospital Monday night and is now in the Stark County Jail, being held on more than $50,000 bond.

George has been charged with felonious assault, abduction and domestic violence.

Police said on Saturday George fired gunshots both into the floor and at his wife, Mary Swihart, after four days of mistreating her.

"He had her handcuffed inside of the cage, would hold her against her will inside the cage for two to four hours at a time, release her from the cage, re-handcuff her outside the cage, let two dogs inside the cage and crate the dogs," said Canton police Lt. Jim Cole.

George has a history of both domestic violence and drug charges.

The couple has a 20-month-old son who was home at the time of the alleged incident.

Police said George fled the scene and was picked up hours later in Springfield.

They said he had taken a large quantity of pills and that's why he had been in the hospital.

Swihart and her son are currently staying with family.
