PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

PLATTSBURGH — A local attorney has found himself on the other side of the law after he allegedly assaulted his wife.

Edward Narrow, a former assistant district attorney for Clinton County, was arraigned in Plattsburgh City Court Tuesday morning after he allegedly abused his wife, Carrie, the night before.

The 40-year-old is facing misdemeanor charges of attempted third-degree assault and endangering the welfare of a child following the alleged domestic incident at his Set Point home.

According to City Court records, police were called to the residence about 9 p.m. after an argument between the Narrows allegedly escalated into violence.

Based on witness statements, Mr. Narrow allegedly began arguing with his 8-year-old stepdaughter, and his wife intervened.

A subsequent disagreement about the couple’s dog is what allegedly prompted Mr. Narrow to shove his wife into a shelving unit.

When she ran to the bedroom for safety, court records indicate, Mr. Narrow allegedly followed her, broke through a door and squeezed her, injuring her rib cage.

“He had a look in his eyes that scared me and made me think he was going to hit me,” Mrs. Narrow said in a statement to police.

She said Mr. Narrow had been drinking and that he threatened her with his connections to local law-enforcement and wound up calling authorities himself, allegedly telling his stepdaughter to watch her mother go to jail.

During the dispute, Narrow also allegedly told the child, “I’m going to hit your mother.”

Mrs. Narrow said the incident was the couple’s first alleged physical confrontation. They got married in August.

Narrow is now in private practice through the Law Offices of Edward Narrow, which has locations in Plattsburgh and Malone.

Narrow was released from custody and is due back in City Court later this week to face the allegations.

A message left at his Plattsburgh office was not immediately returned Tuesday.
