Stephen Guerrero of Spring Valley was charged with attempted assault, criminal obstruction of breathing, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal contempt following the attack on Tuesday, July 3, said Stony Point Police Lt. Daniel Hylas.
According to Hylas, Guerrero told officers that he was involved in a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend. Upon further investigation, it was found that he allegedly punched, choked and bit the woman during the fight.
A check of his record found there was an order of protection in place, Hylas said.
Guerrero was released on $1,500 bail, with a return to Stony Point Justice Count on a later date.
