ANTWERP – An Antwerp man was arrested and remanded to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility following a domestic dispute in the Town of Rossie, reported New York State Police.

Alan G. Bigwarfe, 59, was charged with second-degree assault and second-degree obstruction of governmental administration.

On Nov. 8, at approximately 7:21 p.m., state police responded to Baker Road in the town of Rossie for a reported domestic dispute. An investigation determined that a physical altercation had occurred between Bigwarfe and the victim.

Upon arrival, troopers interviewed the victim, who displayed visible signs of physical injury to the face. The victim was escorted from the residence and evaluated by medical personnel.

Bigwarfe subsequently barricaded himself inside a bedroom of the residence and refused to cooperate with law enforcement. Troopers engaged in extended negotiations, and Bigwarfe was eventually taken into custody without further incident.

Bigwarfe was arraigned in the Town of Gouverneur Court and remanded to the county jail.
