Kirkwood Man Jailed Following Fight

A 39-year-old Kirkwood man faces a felony charge after a fight.

Authorities say Christopher Crawford was arrested in the aftermath of a "physical dispute" on Route 11 in the Town of Kirkwood.

According to state police, Crawford violated an order of protection that was issued against him when he punched his wife.

Investigators say the charge was elevated to aggravated criminal contempt because Crawford had previously been convicted of first-degree criminal contempt in the last five years.
