OXFORD – A domestic incident in Oxford in the early hours of April 6 led to the arrest of a Greene man for multiple felony charges as state police seized cocaine, methamphetamine, a gun, and a hammer as part of its investigation.

State police announced Thursday that Joshua R. Backus, 21, of Greene was arrested at 12:02 a.m. on April 6 after Backus allegedly pushed two subjects, threatened them with a hammer, pointed a gun at the subjects and attempted to strike them with his vehicle as he left the scene prior to authorities arriving.

While conducting the investigation at the residence, troopers observed Backus drive by and then subsequently pulled him over on Town Barn Road in Oxford, resulting in the seizure of cocaine, methamphetamine, a gun, a hammer, marijuana, and pills from inside the vehicle.
