On December 20, 2024, State Police members arrested Jennifer M. Ashton, age 36, of Peru, NY, for criminal possession of a weapon 3rd-previous conviction, assault 2nd, criminal use of drug paraphernalia 2nd, and criminal possession of a controlled substance 7th.

On December 20, 2024, at approximately 9:20 a.m., Troopers responded to Guide Board Road in the town of Black Brook for a possible stabbing.  An investigation determined Ashton and the victim were involved in a verbal argument, which turned physical when Ashton became more irate, later grabbing a knife and scissors.  Ashton then stabbed the victim in the neck and head, causing minor bleeding and injury.

 Ashton was arrested and transported to SP Plattsburgh for processing.  The victim was medically evaluated on scene by EMS, but the victim signed on for more medical treatment from the hospital.

 Ashton was arraigned in the Town of Ausable Court, where she was released on her own recognizance.
