Canton police said the man was arrested shortly after 1 p.m.

The shooting occurred at the intersection of Cliffwood Avenue and Indiana Street.
There was apparently a struggle between Schiele and Conley, prompting the officer to call the dog for assistance.
Conley then allegedly opened fire, hitting the officer and the dog.
Schiele, a 6-year veteran of the department, was treated and released Monday from Grant Medical Center, while his canine partner Bosco was being treated at The Ohio State University Veterinary Hospital for gunshot wounds to the neck.
On Monday afternoon, veterinarians said the dog had suffered paralysis to its front legs, but was showing some movement in its hind legs, 10TV's Jeff Hogan reported.
Police said they were working with prosecutors to prepare additional charges against Conley, who before the shooting was wanted on charges of assault and criminal trespassing.
