Jul. 20—OXFORD — A disturbance in north Oxford led to the arrest of a Lafayette County man on felony charges

Oxford police were called to the 200 block of County Road 101 (Old Highway 7) for a disturbance on July 18. The responding officers found a male victim suffering from non life-threatening injuries. He was carried to the hospital for treatment.

The subsequent investigation led to the arrest of Alvis McJunkins, 37, of Oxford, for aggravated assault. McJunkins was transported to the Lafayette County Detention Center. His bond was set at $10,000 by a Lafayette County Justice Court judge.

Smoke from U.S. West wildfires leaves Easterners gasping
Dozens of wildfires in the western United States and Canada, led by a massive blaze in Oregon, are sending smoke eastward, worsening air quality and causing colorful sunsets in some places. More than 80 large wildfires in 13 western states charred nearly 1.3 million acres (526,090 hectares), an area larger than the state of Delaware, by Tuesday, according to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, Idaho. Wildfire smoke prompted an advisory from New York health and environmental authorities on Tuesday for fine particulate matter as the region's Air Quality Index hit 118, which is unhealthy for sensitive groups such as people with breathing problems.
