Assault Charges Dismissed, But Trouble Remains for Princeton Man

Princeton, NJ -- Charges against an illegal immigrant living in Princeton who was accused of assaulting a woman on Green Street in January have been dismissed because there was “insufficient evidence to proceed with the case,” the Princeton Packet reports.

However, it appears the legal problems facing Arnoldo Agreda-Rodriguez persist.

Agreda-Rodriguez had been charged with one count of terroristic threats and one count of simple assault in connection with the attack on Jan. 22.

Initially, the unidentified woman said said she was walking north on Witherspoon Street near Green Street at 9:45 p.m. when she was hit on the head and dragged to 20 Green Street.

The assault continued until the woman was able to escape by jumping out of a window. She was taken to Capital Health with multiple injuries.

Princeton Police later revealed that the victim knew her assailant, an undocumented immigrant, and that the two went to the vacant house together.

The victim initially lied because she was involved in an affair and didn’t want her husband to find out.

She later said the two went to the house together and engaged in sexual relations, but she wanted to stop when she began to feel pain. She said he then assaulted her, and that’s when she jumped out of the window.

Although that case was dismissed on June 7, Agreda-Rodgriguez has now been accused of threatening to kill his roommate with a knife during an argument on May 21, according to the report.

He is also being sought by federal immigration authorities, according to the report.
