COLTON — A South Colton man was charged with two felonies stemming from an alleged domestic dispute Oct. 22, according to state police.
Troopers reportedly responded Oct. 22 to Church Street in Tupper Lake for a reported physical domestic dispute that occurred on State Highway 56 in Colton.
An investigation allegedly determined Jose A. Melendez, 36, and the victim were involved in a verbal argument which led to Melendez wrapping a lanyard around the victim’s neck causing the victim to physical injury.
The victim was later able to get away from Melendez, leave the residence and travel to Tupper Lake where the victim was interviewed by the troopers.
Melendez reportedly fled the area.
Investigation revealed Melendez was known to be in Ohio. He was located, arrested, and transported back to New York.
On Jan. 7, officers arrested Melendez for second-degree assault, and second-degree strangulation.
He was arraigned in Town of Canton Court and remanded to St. Lawrence County jail in lieu of $25,000, officers said.
