SOMERS – A Somers man is facing a slew of charges following a domestic incident that police said soured, resulting in an alleged assault of a young woman.
State Police Monday reported the arrest of Freddy Orbes, 40, of Ossining, in connection with the incident.
Troop K Public Information Officer Trooper Krystal Paolicelli said the alleged attack occurred around the Muscoot Reservoir, near Route 100 and Muscoot Lane in the Town of Somers.
An investigation by the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation determined that Orbes arrived at the victim’s workplace and demanded that the woman get into his vehicle before transporting her to the waterfront.
“While at that location, Orbes allegedly assaulted the victim and restricted her breathing by applying pressure to the victim’s neck. He further threatened to kill the victim and prevented the victim from leaving the area. The victim was able to escape and flag down a passing motorist for assistance,” the trooper said.
Orbes was charged with robbery, unlawful imprisonment, criminal mischief and grand larceny, all felonies, in addition to criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation, applying pressure, attempted assault with the intent to cause physical Injury, and menacing.
Orbes was arraigned and released pending future court proceedings.
