The grandson of Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson found himself in more legal trouble after a recent arrest in what police described as a domestic dispute.
A 21-year-old woman, the mother of Frank Q. Jackson’s child, told police that he struck her in the head and face on December 18, according to a Cleveland police report.
The woman told police that the verbal argument began when she asked Jackson to get a diaper so she could change her son. However, Frank Q. Jackson told police that the dispute began because he wouldn’t give her money to get her nails done, police say.

Dec. 18 in the 2100 block of East 39th Street after receiving a report of the dispute. A 21-year-old woman, the mother of Frank Q. Jackson’s child, told police that he struck her in the head and face, according to a Cleveland police report.
Jackson delivered the update on the city’s vaccination process during a virtual town hall Wednesday.
Vaccinations for EMTs and paramedics began on Christmas Eve, he explained. Now, the city will move forward in vaccinating people in congregate living facilities including nursing homes.
“We are following the state guidelines in terms of prioritization,” he said. “This will be a process, and it will take some time. Our goal here in Cleveland is to have it done in a very systematic way and to have it done in a very efficient way.”
Earlier Wednesday, Gov. Mike DeWine said the vaccination process was moving too slowly. So far, 94,078 Ohioans have received the coronavirus vaccine, less than one percent of the total population.
