FARMINGTON — A Madrid Township man has been indicted on numerous charges, including domestic violence terrorizing, by a Franklin County grand jury.
Sean E. Haley, 32, of Madrid Township, was indicted on charges of aggravated assault, domestic violence terrorizing with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, domestic violence assault, obstructing the report of a crime or injury, unlawful possession of scheduled drugs and refusing to submit to arrest on July 31 in Madrid.
The Franklin County grand jury handed up 39 indictments last week, including Haley’s.
