Earlville man who assaulted police officer sentenced
NORWICH – The Earlville man accused of kicking, grabbing and punching a police officer pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to interim probation on March 6 in Chenango County Court by Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr.
On April 10, 2014, 48-year-old Jeffrey S. Eaves of Earlville was arrested for assault, aggravated harassment against a police officer, resisting arrest, driving while impaired and other moving violations.
Chenango County Sheriff's Office deputies said Eaves was arrested after a deputy attempted to stop him for a moving violation. According to deputies, Eaves did not stop, continued to drive home to his residence and pulled into his driveway.
After pulling into his driveway, deputies said Eaves attempted to flee on foot.
The deputy chased Eaves and after catching up with him, Eaves began physically fighting the deputy.
While being processed after Eaves was arrested and taken into custody, it was confirmed Eaves was intoxicated while driving and during the incident, said deputies.
Eaves was arraigned in the Village of Earlville Court and remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility in lieu of $10,000 cash bail. He was released at a later date.
Eaves was indicted in April of 2014 for the charges of assault in the second degree, a class D felony; aggravated harassment of a police officer, a class E felony; assault in the third degree, a class A misdemeanor; and resisting arrest, a class A misdemeanor.
It’s alleged, per the indictment, that on April 10, 2014, in the Village of Earlville, Eaves failed to put his hands up when ordered and did intentionally cause physical injury to a Chenango County Sheriff’s Office deputy while said deputy was on duty. Eaves allegedly grabbed the deputy by his uniform and pulled the deputy toward him, while punching the deputy on the left side of his head with his fist.
It is also alleged that Eaves – with the intent to harass, annoy, threaten or alarm an on duty police officer – kicked, grabbed and punched said officer.
On March 6, Eaves pleaded guilty to the class D felony of assault in the second degree.
“This defendant has serious drinking problem, and it is the only reason he has problems,” said District Attorney Joseph A. McBride.
McBride also said, when Eaves is not in trouble with the law, he is a productive member of the community.
He said Eaves was “intoxicated or under the influence when he acted like that,” and that Eaves apologized to the officer.
“The officer is probably the reason you are not going to prison right now,” said McBride.
“He knows you have a young son, and he knows you want to spend some time with your son,” he added.
The DA said if Eaves gets drunk, gets arrested or gets into a fight, he is going to ask that Eaves gets three and a third to seven years in prison.
Eaves was sentenced to 90 days in the county jail to be served intermittently on the weekends and one year of interim probation.
If Eaves successfully completes interim probation, at the end of the year his felony plea will be withdrawn and be replaced with a plea to the class A misdemeanor of assault. He then will be re-sentenced to five years probation, less time served on interim probation.
Revoir said if Eaves fails interim probation, he faces the maximum of up to seven years in prison and up to three years post release supervision.
