Upon arrival, patrol units contacted a male who reported that an altercation had occurred in front of the residence, but that all involved parties had already fled the scene. Officers began canvassing the area to locate those involved.
While this investigation was ongoing, a patrol officer was approached by occupants of a vehicle who reported that another altercation might be occurring at the same location, after officers had cleared the scene to continue the investigation. Officers immediately returned to 12 Governor Street, where they located a victim suffering from severe lacerations to the face.
A preliminary investigation determined that a male and female were responsible for the assault. Through further investigation, the suspects were identified as Kyle Hilton, 39, and Sandra Walts, 30, both of Oswego.
