The current charge alleges second-degree assault, which generally involves an accusation of causing physical injury to another person under circumstances serious enough to rise above a simple harassment or menacing charge.
The prior arrests are a different story from the current one. Every previous booking involved contempt charges, with one of them tied to an order of protection and property damage. Those contempt arrests have been spread out over roughly the past three years, with none in the last twelve months until now.
This page has featured this person 7 times. Niagara County logged 106 bookings in the last seven days, and 2 of those were on assault or battery charges.
A second-degree assault charge is considered a felony-level allegation in most jurisdictions. After booking, the person can typically expect a first appearance where bail or release conditions get set, followed by future court dates as the case moves through the system. Everything at this stage is alleged, not proven.
Given the shift from contempt charges to an assault allegation, do you think readers should know more about how courts handle cases where someone moves from order-of-protection violations to a physical assault charge?
All charges listed are allegations. Every person shown here is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. An arrest is not a conviction.
