On 12 Oct 08 Deputy Sheriff Anderson was dispatched to the scene of an altercation at 20670 State Route 550, Marietta. Roger J. Clark, age 60, 7753 State Route 530, Lower Salem, said he was involved in a confrontation with Daniel P. Williams, age 21, 1091 State Route 339, Belpre, over the fact that Mr. Williams was in violation of his bond after being arrested for unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. Mr. Clark’s sixteen year old niece, who is the victim in the case, was at the aforementioned address and attempted to intervene when she noticed the two men arguing. At some point the teenager said her uncle struck her in the face and pushed her to the ground as he prolonged the incident with Mr. Williams. Tempers seemed to quell thereafter but Mr. Williams entered his truck and struck Mr. Clark before he sped off. Mr. Clark was not seriously injured but was knocked to the ground. As a result of the incident Deputy Sheriff Anderson requested summonses for Mr. Williams for assault and for Mr. Williams for domestic violence. For allegedly slapping her uncle, the teenager will also receive a summons to appear in Juvenile Court for being delinquent.
