Williamsport man accused of purposefully causing accident

Jeremy Brewer, 47, of 2212 Boyd St., faces charges of simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and harassment after he allegedly grabbed the wheel of a moving vehicle in the 1400 block of Route 15 South in Lewis Township on June 2, causing the vehicle to crash, state police said in an affidavit.
