A violent disturbance in Lyons led to the arrest of two residents after a knife assault and a confrontation with deputies.
Monica C. Williams and Leon C. Williams were taken into custody at 159 Canal Street following an investigation by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities allege Monica Williams used a knife to assault one victim and attempted to harm another. She faces two counts of second-degree assault, second-degree menacing, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
When deputies responded to the scene, Leon Williams allegedly refused to comply with lawful orders and physically resisted officers. He was charged with obstructing governmental administration in the second degree, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct.
Monica Williams was transported to the Wayne County Jail and was scheduled for arraignment on June 23. Leon Williams was processed and released with an appearance ticket for Lyons Town Court on July 15.
