Illegal alien jailed on numerous charges

Oct 28, 2007

TOWN OF CHENANGO -- A 22-year-old man identified as an illegal alien from Guatemala is in Broome County Jail awaiting action by federal immigration and custom enforcement authorities. The man who identified himself when apprehended Saturday afternoon as Jony Mata-Mednosa, an identification troopers said was false, faces federal prosecution, according ton state police.

He was charged locally with second-degree possession of a forged instrument, a felony; third-degree assault, second-degree unlawful imprisonment, false impersonation and endangering the welfare of a child, all misdemeanors.

State police said they received a call to Prescott Road, Town of Chenango, shortly after 3 p.m. Saturday regarding a domestic dispute where the female had been struck several times causing an apparent ruptured eardrum. The incident occurred in front of the woman's four-year-old child resulting in the endangering a child charge, state police said.

The defendant eluded police by going out a rear window. He was apprehended without incident a short distance from the Prescott Road home of the woman.

State police said the defendant lied to them about his identity and presented them with a forged identification.

The case was complicated by the defendants inability to speak fluent English. State police said.
