Bruce C. Tatsey II, 38, of South Glens Falls, was taken into custody after a disturbance call at his Moreau Drive home on Oct. 4. He faces charges of second-degree strangulation, third-degree assault and second-degree unlawful imprisonment.
The call came Sunday, Oct. 4, according to police information reported by Daily Voice. Authorities allege Tatsey choked and threatened another person inside the residence, applying pressure to the person's neck that impeded breathing.
Allegations of Injury and Captivity
Police also allege that Tatsey kept the victim from leaving and caused physical injury. The accusations are reflected in the three charges filed against him: second-degree strangulation, third-degree assault and second-degree unlawful imprisonment.
The case highlights how strangulation allegations are treated as a distinct and serious charge under New York law, separate from a general assault count, when a victim's breathing is reportedly impeded during a physical confrontation.
