Rome, New York – A New York Mills man was arrested following a domestic incident that allegedly left a victim with serious injuries, prompting a felony investigation in Oneida County.
According to the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office, road patrol deputies responded to Wynn Hospital on Thursday after receiving a report of a victim who had sustained serious injuries during a domestic dispute. Investigators determined the incident allegedly occurred on February 6 at a residence in the outer district of Rome.
Following the investigation, the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Unit arrested Brian T. Morrissey, 37, of New York Mills. Morrissey is allegedly charged with Assault in the Second Degree, a Class D felony, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child, a Class A misdemeanor.
Officials said the arrest followed the conclusion of the investigation into the reported physical domestic dispute. The nature of the injuries was not further detailed, but authorities confirmed they were serious enough to require hospital treatment.
Morrissey was processed at the Law Enforcement Building and later held pending arraignment in Centralized Arraignment Part Court. After arraignment, he was remanded to the Oneida County Jail on $10,000 cash bail, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
An order of protection was issued on behalf of the victim. No additional information about the victim or any child involved was released.
Domestic violence cases often involve delayed reporting and medical intervention, particularly when injuries escalate over time. The Sheriff’s Office noted that the investigation remained focused on ensuring victim safety and accountability through the court process.
The case will proceed in local court. All charges are allegations, and Morrissey is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
