A Dover man was charged with criminal possession of a weapon after state police responded to a domestic dispute Monday.

Jay D. Spock, 50, was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a class C felony, and second-degree menacing, a misdemeanor.

Troopers responded to a call for a domestic dispute on Route 22 in Dover, where they discovered Spock had menaced the victim. Spock was also in possession of a sawed-off shotgun in violation of barrel length restrictions.



Spock was arraigned before the Town of Dover Justice Court and released. He is due to reappear before the court on Nov. 13.
