City of Lawrence declined to say if a man charged with aggravated assault with an ax will remain at the New Beginnings camp in North Lawrence.

He faces two counts of aggravated assault and was released on own-recognizance and ordered intensive pretrial monitoring. Snow’s next court date is August 22.
