A Chautauqua county man is under arrest, facing multiple charges following an alleged domestic incident.
Troopers from the New York State Police barracks in Jamestown were called after receiving a complaint from the alleged victim about the suspect in the case, identified as 41-year-old Joshua Crist of Frewsburg. The victim alleged "that while she was driving a vehicle containing Crist and three minor children, Crist struck her in the face during an argument."
In a written release, the NYSP says, "Further investigation revealed that the victim was the protected party in a refrain from order against Crist."
Troopers subsequently arrested Crist and charged him with the following:
- Criminal Contempt in the First Degree

Following arraignment Crist was brought to the Cattaraugus County Jail. He is scheduled to answer the charges in court at a later date.
