A 29-year-old man from Locke has been charged following a domestic incident on January 4. Kyle T. Purdy was arrested after deputies responded to reports of multiple people fighting on Liberty Drive around 9:33 p.m., according to Cayuga County Sheriff Brian Schenck.
Authorities alleged that Purdy restrained a victim and applied pressure with his thumb near the victim’s eye. After leaving the scene, he sought medical treatment at Auburn Community Hospital before being taken into custody.
Purdy was charged with Menacing in the Third Degree, a misdemeanor. He was processed at the Public Safety Building, and an Order of Protection was issued during his arraignment at Centralized Arraignment Court on January 5.
Purdy is scheduled to appear in Locke Town Court at a later date to address the charges.
