FORT LEE, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Jeurys Familia‘s first court appearance since being arrested on a domestic violence charge has been postponed until Nov. 10, according to multiple reports.
A court hearing was initially scheduled for Thursday morning at Fort Lee Municipal Court, but it has been delayed by a week at Familia’s request.
Familia was arrested early Monday morning and charged with simple assault after officers responded to a report of a dispute at an apartment in Fort Lee. Police said Familia caused “bodily injury to another” and that officers observed a scratch on the chest and bruise on the right cheek of the victim, whose name was redacted from court documents.
