MILTON, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- A woman was arrested in Milton on Saturday after an investigation into an altercation, according to the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office. Jennifer Fraser, 41, of Milton, was charged with second-degree strangulation and endangering the welfare of a child.
On September 14 around 5 a.m., deputies responded to 885 Middle Line Road in Milton following a call for a welfare check.
