PROVIDENCE – A Providence man fought with and assaulted a Saratoga County Sheriff’s investigator during questioning about a separate incident, sheriff’s officials said.

Joshua J. Allen, 38, of Providence, was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of second-degree assault, a felony, and resisting arrest, a misdemeanor.

Allen is accused of getting into an altercation with the investigator while he was being questioned at his residence about a separate incident, officials said in a release.
