A Seneca Falls man has been arrested following an investigation into a vehicle collision that police say was intentional.
The Seneca Falls Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division reports that 24-year-old Mekhi Russ was arrested last Wednesday, after an investigation into an incident that occurred on a public roadway.
According to police, the investigation determined that Russ intentionally struck another motor vehicle while it was in operation. Both vehicles sustained damage as a result of the collision.
Russ was charged with attempted assault in the second degree and criminal mischief in the third degree, both felony charges.
He was taken into custody without incident at his residence, processed at the Seneca Falls Police Department, and transported to the Seneca County Correctional Facility, where he was held pending arraignment.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
