HAMDEN – Sheriff Craig S. DuMond announced that a Hamden man is facing several charges stemming from a domestic incident. 

On Monday, September 8th, Delaware County Sheriff's Deputies were assigned to a walk-in complaint regarding a report of a domestic dispute that had occurred shortly before the walk in report.  Upon completion of the investigation, it is alleged that 54-year-old Scott Merrill of Hamden was involved in a physical domestic incident with the reporting party.  

Deputies arrested Merrill and charged him with one count of Harassment in the second degree, a violation of the New York State Penal Law and one count of Criminal Obstruction of Breathing, a class A misdemeanor of the New York State Penal Law.  

Merrill was processed and released on an appearance ticket and is scheduled to return to the Hamden Town Court at a later date to answer the charges.
