Charges reduced against Sidney man accused of making hospital bomb threat
NORWICH – A Sidney man has been banned from Chenango Memorial Hospital for allegedly making a verbal bomb threat earlier this month.
“I can understand why the hospital doesn’t want you on the premises,” Judge James Downey told Angel M. Torres, 49, of Sidney.
Torres was arrested by the Norwich City Police June 8 and charged with second degree falsely reporting an incident, a class E felony under the New York State Penal Code. According to the police, Torres told a hospital employee that he was “going to get a bomb” and blow up the health care facility.
In court Thursday, Torres pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct, a violation, as part of a plea agreement negotiated between his court- appointed attorney, James Chamberlain, and First Assistant District Attorney Stephen Dunshee.
Downey accepted the plea deal and sentenced Torres to a one year conditional discharge. As part of the disposition, he was ordered to stay off hospital property unless he needed emergency treatment. He was also ordered to pay a $50 fine plus a mandatory $120 court surcharge, due within 30 days.
Downey warned Torres that if he did not follow the conditions set forth, he would be re-sentenced. The original felony charge could carry a sentence of four years in state prison.
