Liverpool man arrested on felony assault charges

On May 2, 2018, state police responded to the Grenadier Village apartment complex for an elderly woman in a vehicle with injuries.

Upon arrival, Troopers learned that the 74-year-old woman was reporting that she was assaulted by her 46-year-old son. The victim appeared to have significant injuries throughout her body and was transported to SUNY Upstate Medical University.

Investigators interviewed her son, William, who admitted to assaulting his mother in their apartment. William P. Tonon, 46, of Liverpool, was charged with second-degree assault (a class D felony) and criminal obstruction of breathing (a class A misdemeanor). He was arraigned in Syracuse City Court and held on $10,000 cash bail or $20,000 bail bond, and a full stay-away order of protection was issued.

The victim was listed in stable condition after doctors determined that she suffered nine broken ribs, a punctured lung and other internal injuries from the assault.
