NYSP: Lewis County resident charged with assault, strangulation and resisting arrest in alleged domestic dispute

DIANA- A North Country resident is faced with assault related charges in the wake of a reported domestic dispute last month in Lewis County, officials said.

Shannon M. Ayers, 43, of Diana, NY was arrested Wednesday by the New York State Police (Lowville). Ayers is officially charged with one felony count of strangulation in the second-degree; along with one misdemeanor count each of assault in the third-degree and resisting arrest.

According to Troopers, these charges were filed in the town of Diana, stemming from complaints of a domestic incident in early January.

At press time, police said an investigation was pending.
