A Southern Tier man has been charged with murder in connection with a domestic incident that happened at a Tioga County home earlier this month. After being released from the hospital, 36-year-old Michael Crandall was charged with second-degree murder and three counts of criminal contempt.
On February 19th at approximately 3:57 a.m. the New York State Police responded to a domestic-related dispute at 10 Debra Lee Drive, Apalachin. Troopers and EMS personnel provided lifesaving treatment to an injured male and female at the scene.
The female died as a result of injuries sustained during the domestic dispute.
State Police say this incident remains under active investigation and further details will be released as appropriate pending further criminal court actions.
