A man was assessed a $5,000 cash bail for allegedly assaulting a senior citizen or a man\u2019amko during an altercation over land. <\/p>\n
Emmanuel Santos Borja, 49, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, vandalism, and domestic violence: senior citizen physical abuse and\/or mental cruelty after throwing a toaster at a man\u2019amko during an argument. <\/p>\n
Superior Court Associate Judge Wesley Bogdan imposed a $5,000 cash bail on Borja.<\/p>\n
At the bail hearing last week, Borja was represented by the Public Defender\u2019s Office, while assistant attorney general Samantha Vickery appeared for the government.<\/p>\n
After the hearing, Borja was remanded to the custody of the Department of Corrections and was ordered to return to court on Dec. 23, at 9am for a preliminary hearing and on Jan. 5 at 9am to be arraigned.<\/p>\n
According to the complaint filed by the Department of Public Safety, Borja\u2019s wife had confronted a man\u2019amko about the land he was giving away for free to a family member. Borja took his wife\u2019s side in the argument and got mad at the man\u2019amko, police stated. Borja allegedly destroyed the victim\u2019s belongings in his garage. <\/p>\n
The victim told police that Borja also threw a toaster at him, but he managed to stop it from hitting his body by putting up both his hands, which caused a small scratch on his right hand\u2019s middle finger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
