As a result of the follow up investigation, Sgt. Auld said that one of the individuals involved was summoned to appear in Milford District Court on the following charges:
- Disorderly Conduct
- Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle
“The name of the individual is being withheld pending formal arraignment,” Sgt. Auld said. Adding, “The court date has not yet been scheduled.”
