YORK COUNTY — A Fairview Township man is facing assault, reckless endangerment, and other charges after police say he fired shots at utility workers who were on his property performing maintenance Monday on the 200 block of Spanglers Mill Road.
James Lewis Mickel, 50, of New Cumberland, is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, criminal mischief, and propulsion of missiles into an occupied vehicle in the incident, which occurred around 7:25 p.m., according to Fairview Township Police.
Officers were dispatched to the area near Mickels’ home for the report of shots fired, and responding officers could hear gunfire as they approached the scene, police say.
