AKRON, Ohio -- A Summit County jury found an Akron man guilty of domestic violence on Thursday after he allegedly beat up his live-in girlfriend because she would not make him a sandwich.

According to Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh, Cleottis Gilcreast, 52, of Akron, was found guilty of domestic violence, and domestic violence-menacing, for a May 5th incident, where he allegedly slammed his girlfriend to the ground, face first, after she refused to make him a sandwich. The attack happened after Gilcrest pulled a knife on the woman and threatened her.

According to Walsh the victim attempted to leave the apartment the couple shared after the knife was pulled, and started packing a bag to leave with her sister and brother-in-law, who were in the apartment and witnessed the incident. When the victim reentered the apartment, according to Walsh, that is when Gilcrest slammed her to the ground.

Police stopped Gilcreast a short time after the incident as he was walking from the apartment and arrested him.

At the time of this incident, Gilcreast was already on probation for a July 31, 2008 domestic violence conviction against this same victim.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 21st.

What kind of sandwich?

Couldn't he have made his own sandwich? After all he already had a knife. Seriously it is despicable for someone to treat another human being like that. I hope they lock him up and throw away the key!!

^True, its disgusting for any man to treat his girlfriend like that for any reason, let alone over a sandwich. Hope she gets a restraining order against him, too.

These ***hole men make me sick. For the life of me I dont understand why women go for these "bad boys". They may be excting but they are nothing but trouble. It rips me to see these scumbags get girls left and right, and I cant even get anybody to give me a second look.

catlover79 · 05-21-2010, 01:56 PM

^ Because girls want to "rehabilitate" the bad boys. Which, in my opinion, rarely, if ever, works.
