Brothers arraigned in cop attack
Two Spring Valley brothers were arraigned Monday morning in connection with an alleged attack on police officers last month in Rockland County.
Jose and Jason Batista were indicted on a slew of charges ranging from assaulting a police officer to resisting arrest. The charges stem from a Feb. 1 incident in which police responded to a domestic dispute call at a home on 2nd Street in Haverstraw.
That is when Jose Batista allegedly tried to get into the house of his ex-girlfriend and a fight ensued with authorities. The mother of the brothers has since claimed excessive force was used on her sons.
Both Batista brothers are being held in Rockland County Jail on $150,000 bail.
