GOUVERNEUR — A Gouverneur man was jailed Thursday after allegedly threatening a woman with an axe during a domestic dispute on Dodds Road, according to state police.

Police responded to an alleged domestic incident around 4:21 p.m. involving Michael E. Brossoit, 22, troopers said.

He was charged with third-degree assault, third-degree criminal mischief, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and second-degree menacing, officers said.
