UNIONDALE, N.Y. – Nassau County police say a 28-year-old Uniondale man is facing multiple charges following a domestic disturbance that escalated into violence late Sunday night.
According to detectives, officers responded to a home on Campus Street at approximately 9:45 p.m. on September 7 after reports of a disturbance. Investigators say Everton Brooks, of 704 Campus Street, became involved in a heated argument with a 22-year-old woman inside the residence.
The dispute allegedly turned physical when Brooks struck the woman in the head with her cellphone before repeatedly punching her in the face. Fearing for her safety, the victim fled the home and called 911.
When police attempted to take Brooks into custody, officials report he became combative, injuring three officers during the struggle. Brooks was eventually subdued and transported to a local hospital for evaluation. The woman and the injured officers were also taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Brooks is charged with three counts of Assault in the Second Degree, Assault in the Third Degree, Harassment in the Second Degree, Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree, Obstructing Governmental Administration in the Second Degree, and Resisting Arrest.
He was scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, September 8, 2025, at First District Court in Hempstead.
Possible Penalties if Convicted
- Assault in the Second Degree (3 counts)
Class D Felony- Maximum: up to 7 years in prison per count
- Since there are three separate counts, consecutive sentences could theoretically extend exposure, though concurrent sentencing is common.
- Assault in the Third Degree
Class A Misdemeanor- Maximum: up to 1 year in jail
- Harassment in the Second Degree
Violation- Maximum: 15 days in jail or fines
- Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree
Class A Misdemeanor- Maximum: up to 1 year in jail
- Obstructing Governmental Administration in the Second Degree
Class A Misdemeanor- Maximum: up to 1 year in jail
- Resisting Arrest
Class A Misdemeanor- Maximum: up to 1 year in jail
What This Means
If convicted on all counts, Brooks could technically face well over a decade behind bars, largely due to the felony assault charges tied to the injuries of the police officers. However, actual sentencing would depend on whether sentences are imposed concurrently or consecutively, his prior record (if any), plea deals, and judicial discretion.
