New hearing dates set in domestic violence case against former police chief

LISBON — New hearing dates were set Monday in the domestic violence case against former Liverpool Township police chief Jayson Jackson.

Columbiana County Municipal Court Judge Kelly Linger set a status conference hearing at 9:45 a.m. July 10, and then a jury trial at 8:30 a.m. July 16. The state was represented by county Assistant Prosecutor Isabella Simon, while Jackson was represented by his defense attorney, Chris Amato.

Jackson, 52, who resides in Liverpool Township, remains out of jail under a $20,000 cash or surety bond for the first-degree misdemeanor charge.

According to a Liverpool Township Police report, Liverpool Township police officers were called at 1:14 a.m. Dec. 4, 2024 to Jackson’s residence by a juvenile who reported adults fighting. Upon arrival, officers were met by a juvenile who was asked to have an adult come to the door.

A woman then spoke to officers who allegedly said Jackson choked her and gave her a bloody nose.

Officers then made contact with Jackson in a bedroom and asked him what was going on. He advised nothing was going on and they had both been drinking.

Jackson served as a police officer and then chief for many years before leaving law enforcement sometime between late December 2021 and early January 2022.

Starting at $2.99/week.
