JAMESTOWN, NY — A 40-year-old man was arrested early Saturday morning following a domestic violence incident that occurred the previous evening.
Jason A. Swartz, of Jamestown, was taken into custody at approximately 3:46 a.m. Saturday when officers from the Jamestown Police Department’s Third Platoon responded to a Southside address for a follow-up investigation.
