AUSABLE — State Police arrested a Keeseville woman on multiple charges after she allegedly attacked a vehicle with a baseball bat and BB gun while people were inside.
Samantha S. Durgan, 28, was arrested March 24 for criminal mischief in the third-degree, two counts of second-degree assault, and two counts of fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
The incident occurred March 23 at approximately 3:25 p.m., when Troopers responded to Stewarts regarding an altercation at a residence on Grove Street in the town of AuSable.
An investigation revealed that Durgan became irate when people arrived at the residence.
She exited the home with a baseball bat and approached a gray 2000 Chevrolet Blazer, striking the vehicle’s hood multiple times and causing damage.
While the individuals were sitting inside the car, Durgan, wielding the baseball bat, made threatening remarks and shattered the passenger side window of the vehicle.
Durgan then returned to the residence, retrieved a long gun—which was later determined to be a BB gun—and began shooting at the vehicle while the occupants were still inside.
The victims managed to drive away from the scene, and no injuries were reported.
Durgan was processed at SP Plattsburgh and arraigned in the Town of AuSable Court.
She was remanded to the Clinton County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash bail, $10,000 bond, or $15,000 partially secured bond.
