EMMANUEL Santos Borja was arrested for allegedly throwing a household item to an elderly after an argument about a land property last week Tuesday.
Borja was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, vandalism, and domestic violence: senior citizen physical abuse and or mental cruelty.
Superior Court Associate Judge Wesley Bogdan imposed a $5,000 cash bail for Borja’s release.
Borja at the bail hearing last Dec. 17 was represented by the public defender’s office, while the government was represented by assistant attorney general Samantha Vickery.
After the hearing, Borja was remanded back to the custody of the Department of Corrections and was ordered to return to court on Dec. 23, at 9 a.m. for preliminary hearing and arraignment on Jan. 5 at 9 a.m.
According to the complaint and supporting affidavit of probable cause filed by detective Steven N. Dela Cruz Jr., Borja’s wife confronted an elderly about the land he was giving away for free to a family member.
Borja took the wife’s side in the argument and started getting mad also to the elderly and started destroying belongings of the elderly in the house.
The elderly victim told police that Borja also threw the toaster at him that resulted in a scratch on his hand.
