The trial of a Washington man who was arrested in December on felony domestic abuse assault charges as well as child endangerment has yet to be scheduled. 

According to records, the Washington Police Department responded to a disturbance at a residence at 2:20 a.m. on December 27th. Authorities arrested 42-year-old Milton Jones of Washington on the charges of third offense domestic abuse assault, a class D felony, and child endangerment, an aggravated misdemeanor. A no contact order was also filed. 

According to court records, law enforcement responded to a report of an ongoing verbal altercation. Allegedly Jones prevented the victim from dialing 911 to request emergency assistance. Upon arrival, officers made contact with Jones and the victim. During the investigation, officers learned that Jones threw an infant chair into the air, causing it to strike and break the glass light fixture of a ceiling fan. As a result, broken glass fell onto the victim and an infant, creating a substantial risk of physical injury to the child due to falling glass and the forceful throwing of furniture in close proximity to the child.

An appearance hearing was held on January 15th, a trial date has yet to be set.
