Mingus Reedus Pleads Not Guilty to Five Charges in NYC Assault Case

He was released without bail pending further proceedings.

Overview

  • NYPD says officers responded to a 911 call around 8:40 a.m. Saturday at a West 16th Street apartment in Chelsea and found a 33-year-old woman with minor neck and leg injuries, who was taken to Bellevue in stable condition.
  • Court records show five counts: third-degree assault, assault recklessly causing injury, criminal obstruction of breathing, aggravated harassment, and second-degree harassment.
  • Reedus entered a not-guilty plea at his Saturday arraignment and was released on his own recognizance, with the investigation ongoing and a follow-up court appearance set for Tuesday.
  • A protection order for the alleged victim was reported following the court appearance.
  • Defense attorney Priya Chaudhry says the charges are misdemeanors or lesser and says Reedus called 911 after the woman reportedly took sleeping pills, noting he previously resolved a 2021 case with a 2022 disorderly-conduct plea.
