The Ogdensburg Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit has been searching for Nugent for months for his alleged involvement in an assault at Davinci’s Tavern on Halloween night 2015.

Police say they had previosuly charged Steven Horton Jr. 28, of 2666 SH 37, Brier Hill on Nov. 4 for his alleged involvement.
