A Hamilton resident alledgedly assaulted a man, then led Oxford police on a high speed pursuit to Millville on April 22.

Scott Young, 22, 5 Baldwin Court, Hamilton, was charged with assault, OVI, DUS and fleeing/failure to comply with an officer's signal.

Upon speaking with the man, police noticed he had sustained a cut on his wrist and had the Oxford Life Squad transport him to McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital for treatment of the wound.
