Finch was treated at the Wyoming County Community Hospital and has been charged with two counts of attempted murder, attempted robbery and assault, plus single counts of burglary and criminal possessioin of a weapon.
Finch, who has been convicted of multiple felonies in the past, was arraigned in Middlebury Town Court and is being held without bail at the Wyoming County jail.
