Troopers: Alleged Domestic Dispute In Addison 

FROM NYSP:  On November 19, 2024, at approximately 8:38 a.m., the New York State Police responded to a report of a domestic incident involving a firearm at Derby Hill Road, Addison, NY. The call was by a third party about a dispute inside the residence, reportedly in the presence of a two-month-old child.

Upon arrival, Troopers located the victim, a 25-year-old female, sitting in a vehicle outside the residence, visibly distressed. Troopers approached the residence and observed Nathaniel Brown, age 29, inside.

Further investigation revealed that Brown was inside the residence armed with a loaded shotgun. He also refused to allow the victim to retrieve her two-month-old child from the home. Patrols ensured the safety of all individuals on the scene, including relocating the victim and other civilians off the property.

Brown exited the residence holding the shotgun. He initially failed to show both hands when directed but complied after repeated commands, eventually dropping the firearm. Brown was detained without incident, and Troopers secured the shotgun, which was loaded with a round in the chamber.

After obtaining consent to enter the residence, Troopers checked on the welfare of the two-month-old child, who was found unharmed.

During the investigation, Brown became increasingly agitated, demanded law enforcement leave his property, and resisted being taken into custody. Brown was eventually taken into custody and transported to SP Painted Post for processing.

Brown was charged with Menacing a Police Officer (D Felony), Criminal Possession of a Weapon 4th (A Misdemeanor), Resisting Arrest (A Misdemeanor), and Endangering the Welfare of a Child (A Misdemeanor). Brown was transported to Steuben County Jail for CAP Arraignment.
