A 32-year-old man who allegedly assaulted a family member with a metal paint can was arrested Saturday night after a search Friday and Saturday by the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies found Kelly R. Byrne in a shed at a property in Sterling owned by his father, said sheriff Rob Outhouse.
At 2:19 p.m. Friday, deputies responded to the domestic incident report at a Humphrey Road residence in Sterling. Upon their arrival, Byrne was encountered outside of the residence, but he fled into the woods behind the home. The sheriff's office conducted a two-hour search Friday using a K-9 unit and a helicopter from the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office.
Byrne was reportedly recently released from a Virginia mental institution.
The male family member who was assaulted was treated at Oswego Hospital for blunt trauma injuries and lacerations to his head and later released.
Byrne was arraigned Saturday and remanded to Cayuga County Jail. Because of his history and the events of the weekend, Byrne was given a mental health and suicide screening upon entering the jail, Outhouse said.
