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.
