The child was not harmed in the incident. 

On August 8, Perry was released on his own recognizance from jail after a July 30 arrest for misdemeanor domestic violence. 

In that incident, Perry assaulted his sister, choking the woman on three occasions in one day, police said. He could not give police a reason that he was choking her, but said he could not control his urges.
