Police have charged Clifford E. WILSON, 41 of West Lampeter Twp., with criminal attempt homicide and related aggravating criminal charges after the Chester County District Attorney's Office approved the filing of charges Aug 4th.

On July 8, 2022, police were called to the scene of a serious automobile crash on South Alley at West Bridge Street.

WILSON reportedly beat the male with a hammer and his fists, causing serious facial fractures and extended hospitalization. Wilson's alleged motives behind this incident are under investigation.

WILSON is being held at the Chester County Prison. Bail has been set at $500,000 cash and a preliminary hearing has been scheduled before MDJ Nancy Gill.
