GROVELAND - Sheriff Thomas J. Dougherty reports felony level
assault charges for a Geneseo man after a domestic incident.
Mario A. Ramirez, age 26, was arrested and charged with
felony Assault in the Second Degree. The arrest stems from a domestic incident
that occurred at a residence in the Town of Groveland on April 22, 2020.
At approximately 8:18 p.m. on April 22, 2020, the Livingston
County Emergency Communications Center (E-911) received a call for a male who
was struck in the head with a jack stand. Several members of the Sheriff's
Office responded and through the course of the investigation, it was discovered
that a 61-year-old male had been involved in a physical altercation with
Ramirez.
The investigation alleges that Ramirez attacked the victim
after a verbal argument, striking the victim with a metal jack stand, causing
injury. Ramirez then fled the scene. The victim was transported to Noyes
Hospital where he received numerous stiches to treat the injuries.
Ramirez was interviewed the following day and subsequently
taken into custody for Assault in the Second Degree. Ramirez was transported to
the Livingston County Jail where he was processed and held pending arraignment
in CAP Court. The District Attorney's Office was contacted due to the felony
level charge and a bail recommendation of $2,500 cash or $5,000 bond was
provided.
Ramirez was later arraigned in CAP Court by Town of Mount
Morris Justice David Provo. The Judge did release Ramirez on his own
recognizance with a future appearance date set, and Deputies released.
Investigating for the Sheriff's Office were members of the
Patrol Division, Criminal Investigations Division and Forensic Identification
Unit (FIU), with the assistance of the Communications Bureau.
