Michael Molina, age 30, of Great Neck, was arrested on Wednesday, Feb. 17, after Nassau County Police responded to a home in Glen Head for a report of a disturbance, police said.
According to detectives, officers responded to a disturbance call at a residence on Todd Drive. When they arrived they found Molina banging on the front door and screaming obscenities.
