Man pleads not guilty to assaulting stepson
A New York man is pleading not guilty for assaulting his stepson with a belt while his wife was locked in the basement.
Alon M. Holliday’s bail was set at $50,000 Monday in Nassau County District Court. It could not immediately be determined Monday evening whether he had posted bail.
Holliday’s lawyer says his client denies the charges, which also include unlawful imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a child.
Police say the 34-year-old attacked the boy for not washing his stepfather’s laundry. Police say Holliday locked his wife in the basement of their West Hempstead home when she tried to intervene.
