LEYDEN- A pair from Lewis County stand accused of felony assault charges from last summer, authorities say.

Lucas W. Dafoe, 31, of Port Leyden, NY and Patrick H. Clifton, 26, of Glenfield, NY were both arrested last month on January 10 by the New York State Police (Lowville).

Both suspects have officially been charged with one felony count each of assault in the second-degree. According to Troopers, these charges stem from complaints filed in the town of Leyden last July.

At press time, police said Dafoe and Clifton were released on their own recognizance.

There were no additional details available from the State Police to report.
