Police arrested on Wednesday night an employee of Aging Office for allegedly slapping and splashing a cup of water on the face of his wife. <\/p>\n
The incident happened at the Aging Office in Chinatown last Feb. 29, according to police detective Daniel Maliuyaf.<\/p>\n
At a hearing yesterday, Superior Court Associate Judge Kenneth L. Govendo imposed a $1,250 cash bail and appointed assistant public defender Michael Sato as counsel for defendant Anthony Jack Ogumoro.<\/p>\n
Ogumoro, 39, is facing charges of assault and battery, and disturbing the peace.<\/p>\n
Preliminary hearing will be on March 23 at 9am.<\/p>\n
Detective Maliuyaf stated in his report that a police officer was dispatched to the Aging Office last Feb. 29 after receiving a call about a disturbance.<\/p>\n
Before the officer arrived at the scene, Ogumoro and his wife, who is also a volunteer at the Aging Office, already left the area.<\/p>\n
Based on the officer\u2019s review on the video surveillance footage, Ogumoro was standing at a table and writing something on a paper.<\/p>\n
Ogumoro later picked up a trashcan cover near the front entrance door and attempted to swing it at his wife.<\/p>\n
Ogumoro instead used his left hand in slapping the face of his wife. He walked out of the front door but the wife stood at the door.<\/p>\n
The defendant splashed what appeared to be a cup of water on the wife\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
A witness told the officer that prior to the incident, the wife asked Ogumoro why he didn\u2019t answer his phone and later asked who was going to take him.<\/p>\n
The witness said Ogumoro picked up a wooden cover of the trashcan, then struck his wife with his hand. (Ferdie de la Torre)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
