SURFIELD, SAMANTHA E.
On 21 Dec 02 at approximately 0020 hours while assigned to Unit 34011 responded to the John Milton Ina at
6578 Thompson Road In regards to a physical domestic dispute. Unit 3412, Officer W. Grecco also responded.
Upon arrival we were met in the lobby by the above listed victim, Samantha Surfleld, her mother Cristina Nieves
(PG), her sister Cassandra Surficld (OT) and her brother Alexander Nieves (OT). Mrs. Nieves was hysterical and stated
that her husband, Angel Nieves (SU) had struck Samantha in the mouth with his fist and then left the hotel with their (3)
three year old son, Blair Nieves (OT). She stated that her husband was intoxicated and that he left in a 1999 or 2000
Dodge Grand Caravan bearing an unknown Pennsylvania dcalcr plate (later identified as 23470531, which was taken from
the hotel registration card). Mrs. Nieves stated that they were in Dewitt to visit family for Christmas but that her husband
would not go there and would most likely drive back to Pennsylvania. A point of information was immediately broadcast
detailing the above information to all units in Onondaga County. The New York State Police and the Pennsylvania State
Police were also notified. Checks of the area for the above vehicle, including aerial checks of Interstate 81 via the
Onondaga County Sheriffs Office helicopter, gave negative results.
I then checked the injury to Samantha Surfleld and observed that she suffered an approximate (1/2) half-inch
laceration to the inside of her upper lip that was bleeding. She stated that Angel Nieves, who is her stepfather, struck her
In the mouth with a closed flat while he was having a physical dispute with her mother. She stated that besides punching
her, her stepfather shoved Cassandra and she fell to the ground. Samantha stated that her stepfather struck her mother in
the face several times and that atone point he missed her moths and struck Blair In the head. She stated that she was
trying to get Blair away from her stepfather when he punched her in the mouth. I summoned an ambulance to the hotel to
inspect Samantha's injuries and to medically clear Mrs. Nieves and Cassandra. The paramedics stated that Samantha
would not require stitches and that Cassandra did not appear to be injured. Mrs. Nieves would not allow the paramedics
to look at her but she did not appear to have any injuries from the altercation.
At this point I attempted to Interview Mrs. Nieves and it became apparent that she was highly intoxicated. It was
difficult to get any information from her, as she was hysterical. Samantha approached me and told me that she could
provide all of the information that I needed. Samantha advised me that they had arrived at the hotel from Pennsylvania
approximately (3) three hours before this incident. She stated that her mother and stepfather left the hotel a short time
later to go to a bar and left her in charge of her three siblings. She stated that upon their return to the room approximately
(2) two hours later, her mother and stepfather were intoxicated. Samantha stated that after a short time her mother went to
bed in the adjoining bedroom and that her stepfather stayed in the main room and watched television with them. She
stated that for some unknown reason her stepfather became angry and went into the adjoining bedroom and began yelling
at her mother. She stated that she heard her mother say, "No, don't!" so she went into the bedroom to see what was
occurring. Samantha stated that her stepfather was hitting her mother and that her mother was holding Blair. She stated
that her stepfather missed her mother several times and struck Blair in the face and head. Samantha stated that her
stepfather took Blair from her mother and that Blair was crying. Samantha stated that she attempted to take Blair from her
stepfather so that he wouldn't get hit again and that her stepfather stated, "You're not taking my son", and he hit her In the
mouth with a closed fist. Samantha stated that she felt severe pain in her mouth, felt dizzy and she could tell that she was
bleeding. She stated that she went into the bathroom to spit out the blood that had collected in her mouth and then she
went back into the main room. She stated that her stepfather punched her mother In the face and then ran out of the room
with Blair. Samantha stated that she followed her stepfather down into the lobby to try and get Blair from him but she
was unsuccessful. She stated that her stepfather got into the above listed vehicle and left with Blair,
Samantha gave a written statement, in the presence of her mother, regarding the above information.
A statement could not be taken at this time from Mrs. Nieves due to her intoxication.

SURFIELD, SAMANTHA E.
Mrs. Nieves stated that she only wanted her son back and did not desire prosecution for the dispute between
herself and her husband (violation charge of harassment only). I advised her that I would be completing a case for
endangering the welfare of a child and assault In the third degree for the injuries caused to Samantha.
I attempted to contact Mrs. Nieves' father, who resides in Manlius, but Mrs. Nieves gave me the wrong telephone
number and misspelled his last name. She stated that she did not want us to contact her family because it would cause her
a lot of problems. She refused to elaborate on this issue. As I was unable to contact any family, I stayed with Mrs. Nieves
and her children for over three hours to ensure the children's safety. During this time Mrs, Nieves sobered to a point
where I felt that she could be in control again.
It should also be noted that Samantha is extremely mature for her age. She remained very calm and appeared to
have no problems caring for her siblings. She advised me that she has taken babysitting classes in Pennsylvania and that
she regularly watches her siblings, as well as other children. It was the opinion of Lt. D. D'Arrigo and myself that
Samantha was mature enough to and capable of watching her siblings.
During the course of the investigation Samantha had provided me with a cell phone number for her stepfather. Lt.
D'Arrigo called the number (717-576.7491) and left a message requesting Angel to contact him Approximately (20)
twenty minutes later Angel called Lt. D'Arrigo and stated that he was still in the Syracuse area. He refused to disclose his
location and would not return to the hotel. He advised Lt. D' Arrigo that Blair was fine and that he was not injured. A
point of Information was broadcast that Angel may still be in the area. Area checks gave negative results.
At approximately 0400 hours Angel again contacted Lt. D'Arrigo and advised that he was approximately one and
one half-hours from Syracuse. After speaking to Lt. D'Arrigo he agreed to remm to Dewitt to drop off Blair at the hotel.
I contacted the NYSP in Binghamton and they advised that they did not believe that he had made It as far as Binghamton
as they had been looking for his vehicle.
As of 0700 hours, today's date, Angel had not retumed to the John Milton Inn. As it was believed that he would
return to the area, I completed a case for Endangering the welfare of a child and Assault in the third degree against Angel
Nieves. I completed a warrant application for the charges and the Honorable Judge D. Gideon signed the arrest warrant.
The warrant was entered into NYSPIN and CHAIRS shortly thereafter.
A File 25 was sent with special attention to the NYSP and the Pennsylvania State Police.
No further information.

On 06 Jan 03 I conducted a follow-up investigation into the above listed incident.
I contacted the NYS Child Abuse Hotline (1-800.635-1522) and spoke to a Randolph Lukas. I advised Mr. Lukas
of this incident and, after conferring with his supervisors, Mr. Lukas stated that they were declining to register this
incident in New York State. He stated that because the family resides in Pennsylvania they would nor be able to
investigate this incident. Mr. Lukas advised me to contact the Pennsylvania Child Abuse Hotline and report the incident
to them.
I contacted the Pennsylvania Child Abuse Hotline (717-783-8744) and spoke to a Desiree Reed. I advised Ms.
Reed of this incident and she stated that they would not be able to Investigate this incident because it happened in New
York State. She stated that they do not have authority in this incident and that New York State should take the registry.
Ms. Reed took all of the information regarding this incident and stated that she would forward it to Cumberland County
Youth Services, as this is the county that the family resides in. She stated that they would not be able to investigate this
incident, but that they might check on the welfare of the children, She advised me to contact Cumberland County Youth
Services (717-240.6120) to see if they wanted the reports regarding this incident, I was unable to contact Cumberland
County as their office operates during normal business hours (0900-1700).

SURF=, SAMANTIIAE.
On 21 Dec 02 at approximately 0020 hours while assigned to Unit 34011 responded to the John Milton Inn at
6578 Thompson Road In regards to a physical domestic dispute. Unit 3412, Officer W. Grecco also responded.
Upon arrival we were met In the lobby by the above listed victim, Samantha Suffield, her mother Cristina Nieves
(PG), her sister Cassandra Surfield (OT) and her brother Alexander Nieves (01). Mrs, Nieves was hysterical and stated
that her husband, Angel Nieves (SU) had struck Samantha in the mouth with his fist and than left the hotel with their (3)
three year old son, Blair Nieves (OT). She stated that her husband was intoxicated and that he left in a 1999 or 2000
Dodge Grand Caravan bearing an unknown Pennsylvania dealer plate (later identified as 23470531, which was taken from
the hotel registration card). Mrs. Nieves stated that they were in Dewitt to visit family for Christmas but that her husband
would not go there and would most likely drive back to Pennsylvania. A point of information was immediately broadcast
detailing the above information to all units In Onondaga County. The New York State Police and the Pennsylvania State
Police were also notified, Checks of the area for the above vehicle, including aerial checks of Interstate 81 via the
Onondaga County Sheriffs Office helicopter, gave negative results.
I then checked the injury to Samantha Suffield and observed that she suffered an approximate (1/2) half-inch
laceration to the inside of her upper lip that was bleeding. She stated that Angel Nieves, who is her stepfather, struck her
in the mouth with a closed list while he was having a physical dispute with her mother. She stated that besides punching
her, her stepfather shoved Cassandra and she fell to the ground. Samantha stated that her stepfather struck her mother in
the face several times and that at one point he missed her mother and struck Blair In the head. She stated that she was
trying to get Blair away from her stepfather when he punched her in the mouth. I summoned an ambulance to the hotel to
inspect Samantha's Injuries and to medically clear Mrs. Nieves and Cassandra. The paramedics stated that Samantha
would not require stitches and that Cassandra did not appear to be injured. Mrs. Nieves would not allow the paramedics
to look at her but she did not appear to have srry injuries from the altercation.
At this point I attempted to Interview Mrs. Nieves and it became apparent that she was highly intoxicated. It was
difficult to get any information from her, as she was bysterical. Samantha approached me and told me that she could
provide all of the information that I needed. Samantha advised me that they had arrived at the hotel from Pennsylvania
approximately (3) three hours before this incident. She stated that her mathcr and stepfather left the hotel a short time
later to go to a bar and left her in charge of her three siblings. She stated that upon their return to the room approximately
(2) two hours later, her mother and stepfather were Intoxicated. Samantha stated that after a short time her mother went to
bed In the adjoining bedroom and that her stepfather stayed in the main room and watched television with them, She
stated that for some unknown reason her stepfather became angry and went into the adjoining bedroom and began yelling
at her mother. She stated that she heard her mother say, "No, don't!" so she went into the bedmom to see what was
occurring. Samantha stated that her stepfather was hitting her mother and that bar mother was holding Blair. She stated
that her stepfather missed her mother several times and smock Blair In the face and head. Samantha stated that hcr
stepfather took Blair from her mother and that Blair was crying. Samantha stated that she attempted to take Blair from her
stepfather so that he wouldn't get hit again and that her stepfather stated, "You're not taking my son", and he hit her in the
mouth with a closed fist. Samantha stated that she felt severe pain in her mouth, fell dizzy and she could tell that she was
bleeding. She stated that she went into the bathroom to spit out the blood that had collected in her mouth and then she
went back into the main room. She stated that her stepfather punched her mother in the face and then ran out of the room
with Blair. Samantha stated that she followed her stepfather down into the lobby to try and got Blair from him but she
was unsuccessful. She stated that her stepfather got into the above listed vehicle and left with Blair.
Samantha gave a written statement, in the presence of her mother, regarding the above information.
A statement could not be taken at this time from Mrs. Nieves due to her intoxication.

SAMANTHA E.
Mrs. Nieves stated that she only wanted her son back and did not desire prosecution for the dispute between
herself and her husband (violation charge of harassment only). I advised her that I would be completing a case for
endangering the welfare of a child and assault in the third degree for the injuries caused to Samantha.
I attempted to contact Mrs. Nieves' father, who resides in Manlius, but Mrs. Nieves gave me the wrong telephone
number and misspelled his last name. She stated that she did not want us to contact her family because It would cause her
a lot of problems. She refused to elaborate on this issue. As I was unable to contact any family. I stayed with Mrs. Nieves
and her children for over three hours to ensure the children's safety. During this time Mrs. Nieves sobered to a point
where I felt that she could be In control again.
It should also be noted that Samantha is extremely mature for her age. She remained very calm and appeared to
have no problems caring for her siblings. She advised me that she has taken babysitting classes in Pennsylvania and that
she regularly watches her siblings, as well as other children, It was the opinion of Lt. D. D'Artigo and myself that
Samantha was mature enough to and capable of watching her siblings.
During the course of the investigation Samantha had provided me with a cell phone number for her stepfather. Lt.
D'Arrigo called the number (717-576.7491) and left a message requesting Angel to contact him. Approximately (20)
twenty minutes later Angel called Lt. D'Arrigo and stated that he was still in the Syracuse area He refused to disclose his
location and would not return to the hotel. He advised Lt. D'Arrigo that Blair was fine and that he was not injured. A
point of information was broadcast that Angel may still be in the area Area checks gave negative results.
At approximately 0400 hours Angel again contacted Lt. D'Arrigo and advised that he was approximately one and
one half-hours from Syracuse. After speaking to Lt. D'Arrigo he agreed to return to Dewitt to drop off Blair at the hotel.
I contacted the NYSP in Binghamton and they advised that they did not believe that he had made It as far as Binghamton
as they had been looking for his vehicle.
As of 0700 hours, today's date, Angel had not returned to the John Milton Inn. As it was believed that he would
return to the area, I completed a case for Endangering the welfare of a child and Assault in the third degree against Angel
Nieves. I completed a warrant application for the charges and the Honorable Judge D. Gideon signed the arrest warrant.
The warrant was entered into NYSPIN and CHAIRS shortly thereafter.
A File 25 was sent with special attention to the NYSP and the Pennsylvania State Police.
No further information.

On 06 Jan 03 I conducted a follow-up investigation into the above listed incident.
I contacted the NYS Child Abuse Hotline (1-800.635-1522) and spoke to a Randolph Lukas. 1 advised Mr. Lukas
of this incident and, after conferring with his supervisors, Mr. Lukas stated that they were declining to register this
Incident in New York State. He stated that because the family resides in Pennsylvania they would nor be able to
investigate this incident. Mr. Lukas advised me to contact the Pennsylvania Child Abuse Hotline and report the incident
to them.
I contacted the Pennsylvania Child Abuse Hotline (717.783.8744) and spoke to a Desiree Reed. I advised his.
Reed of this incident and she stated that they would not be able to Investigate this incident because it happened in New
York State. She stated that they do not have authority in this incident and that New York State should take the registry.
Ms. Reed took all of the information regarding this incident and stated that she would forward it to Cumberland County
Youth Services, as this is the county that the family resides In, She stated that they would not be able to investigate this
incident, but that they might check on the welfare of the children. She advised me to contact Cumberland County Youth
Services (717-240-6120) to see if they wanted the reports regarding this incident. I was unable to contact Cumberland

SURIMLD, SAMANTHA E.
On 21 Dec 02 at approximately 0020 hours while assigned to Unit 34011 responded to the John Milton inn at
6578 Thompson Road in regards to a physical domestic dispute. Unit 3412, Officer W. Cirecco also responded.
Upon arrival we were met in the lobby by the above listed victim, Samantha Surfield, her mother Cristlna Nieves
(M), her sister Cassandra Surfield (OT) and her brother Alexander Nieves (OT). Mrs. Nieves was hysterical and stated
that her husband, Angel Nieves (SU) had struck Samantha In the mouth with his fist and then left the hotel with their (3)
three year old son, Blair Nieves (OT). She stated that her husband was intoxicated and that he left in a 1999 or 2000
Dodge Grand Caravan bearing an unknown Pennsylvania dcalcr plate (leer identified as 23470531, which was taken from
the hotel registration card). Mrs. Nieves stated that they were in Dewitt to visit family for Christmas but that her husband
would not go there and would most likely drive back to Pennsylvania. A point of information was immediately broadcast
detailing the above information to all units In Onondaga County. The New York State Police and the Pennsylvania State
Police were also notified. Checks of the area for the above vehicle, including aerial checks of Interstate 81 via the
Onondaga County Sheriffs office helicopter, gave negative results.
I then checked the injury to Samantha Surfleld and observed that she suffered an approximate (1/2) half-inch
laceration to the inside of her upper lip that was bleeding. She stated that Angel Nieves, who is her stepfather, struck her
in the mouth with a closed fist while he was having a physical dispute with her mother. She stated that besides punching
her, her stepfather shoved Cassandra and she fell to the ground. Samantha stated that her stepfather struck her mother in
the face several times and that at one point he missed her moths and struck Blair in the head. She stated that she was
trying to get Blair away from her stepfather when he punched her in the mouth. I summoned an ambulance to the hotel to
inspect Samantha's injuries and to medically clear Mrs. Nieves and Cassandra. The paramedics stated that Samantha
would not require stitches and that Cassandra did not appear to be injured. Mrs. Nieves would not allow the paramedics
to look at her but she did not appear to have any injuries from the altercation.
At this point I attempted to Interview Mrs. Nieves and it became apparent that she was highly intoxicated. It was
difficult to get any information from her, as she was hysterical. Samantha approached me and told me that she could
provide all of the information that I needed. Samantha advised me that they had arrived at the hotel from Pennsylvania
approximately (3) three hours before this incident. She stated that her mother and stepfather left the hotel a short time
later to go to a bar and left her in charge of her three siblings. She stated that upon their return to the room approximately
(2) two hours later, her mother and stepfather were intoxicated. Samantha stated that after a short time her mother went to
bed in the adjoining bedroom and that her stepfather stayed In the main room and watched television with them. She
stated that for some unknown reason her stepfather became angry and went into the adjoining bedroom and began yelling
at her mother. She stated that she heard her mother say, "No, don't!" so she went into the bedmom to see what was
occurring. Samantha stated that her stepfather was hitting her mother and that her mother was holding Blair. She stated
that her stepfather missed her mother several times and struck Blair In the face and head. Samantha stated that her
stepfather took Blair from her mother and that Blair was crying. Samantha stated that she attempted to take Blair from her
stepfather so that he wouldn't get hit again and that her stepfather stated, "You're not taking my son", and he hit her In the
mouth with a closed fist. Samantha stated that she felt severe pain in her mouth, felt dizzy and she could tell that she was
bleeding. She stated that she went into the bathroom to spit out the blood that had collected In her mouth and then she
went back into the main room. She stated that her stepfather punched her mother in the face and then ran out of the room
with Blair. Samantha stated that she followed her stepfather down into the lobby to try and got Blair from him but she
was unsuccessful. She stated that her stepfather got into the above listed vehicle and left with Blair.
Samantha Savo a written statement, in the presence of her mother, regarding the above information.
A statement could not be taken at this time from Mrs, Nieves due to her intoxication.

SURFIELD, SAMANTHA E.
Mrs. Nieves stated that she only wanted her son back and did not desire prosecution for the dispute between
herself and her husband (violation charge of harassment only). I advised her that I would be completing a case for
endangering the welfare of a child and assault in the third degree for the injuries caused to Samantha
I attempted to contact Mrs. Nieves' father, who resides in Manlius, but Mts. Nieves gave me the wrong telephone
number and misspelled his last name. She stated that she did not want us to contact her family because it would cause her
a lot of problems. She refused to elaborate on this issue. As I was unable to contact any family, I stayed with Mrs. Nieves
and her children for over th= hours to ensure the children's safety. During this time Mrs, Nieves sobered to a point
where I felt that she could be in control again,
It should also be noted that Samantha is extremely mat= for her age. She remained very calm and appeared to
have no problems caring for her siblings. She advised me that she has taken babysitting classes in Pennsylvania and that
she regularly watches her siblings, as well as other children, It was the opinion of Lt. D. D'Arrigo and myself that
Samantha was mature enough to and capable of watching her siblings.
During the course of the investigation Samantha had provided me with a cell phone number for her stepfather. Lt.
D'Arrigo called the number (717-576-7491) and left a message requesting Angel to contact him. Approximately (20)
twenty minutes later Angel called Lt. D'Arrigo and stated that he was still in the Syracuse area. He refused to disclose his
location and would not return to the hotel. He advised Lt. D'Arrigo that Blair was fine and that he was not Injured. A
point of information was broadcast that Angel may still be in the area Area checks gave negative results.
At approximately 0400 hours Angel again contacted Lt. D'Arrigo and advised that he was approximately one and
one half-hours from Syracuse. After speaking to Lt. D'Arrigo he agreed to return to Dewitt to drop off Blair at the hotel.
I contacted the NYSP in Binghamton and they advised that they did not believe that he had made It as far as Binghamton
as they had been looking for his vehicle.
As of 0700 hours, today's date, Angel had not returned to the John Milton Inn. As it was believed that he would
return to the area, I completed a case for Endangering the welfare of a child and Assault in the third degree against Angel
Nieves. 1 completed a warrant application for the charges and the Honorable Judge D. Gideon signed the arrest warrant.
The warrant was entered into NYSPIN and CHAIRS shortly thereafter.
A File 25 was sent with special attention to the NYSP and the Pennsylvania State Police.
No further information.

SURFMLD, SAMANTHA E.
On 21 Dec 02 at approximately 0020 hours while assigned to Unit 34011 responded to the John Nfilton Ina at
6578 Thompson Road in regards to a physical domestic disputes. Unit 3412, Officer W. Grecco also responded.
Upon arrival we were met in the lobby by the above listed victim, Samantha Sunleld, her mother Cristlna Nieves
(PO), her sister Cassandra Surfield (OT) and her brother Alexander Nieves (OT). Mrs. Nieves was hysterical and stated
that her husband, Angel Nieves (SU) had struck Samantha In the mouth with his fist and then left the hotel with their (3)
three year old son, Blair Nieves (OT). She stated that her husband was intoxicated and that he left in a 1999 or 2000
Dodge Grand Caravan bearing an unknown Pennsylvania dealer plate (later identified as 23470531, which was taken from
the hotel registration card). Mrs. Nieves stated that they were in Dewitt to visit family for Christmas but that her husband
would not go there and would most likely drive back to Pennsylvania A point of information was immediately broadcast
detailing the above information mall units In Onondaga County. The New York State Police and the Pennsylvania State
Police were also notified. Checks of the area for the above vehicle, including aerial checks of Interstate 81 via the
Onondaga County Sheriffs Office helicopter, gave negative results.
I then checked the injury to Samantha Surfield and observed that she suffered an approximate (1/2) half-inch
laceration to the inside of her upper lip that was bleeding, She stated that Angel Nieves, who is her stepfather, struck her
In the mouth with a closed fiat while he was having a physical dispute with her mother. She stated that besides punching
her, her stepfather shoved Cassandra and she fell to the ground. Samantha stated that her stepfather struck her mother in
the face several times and that at one point he missed hor mother and struck Blair in the head. She stated that she was
trying to get Blair away from her stepfather when he punched her in the mouth. I summoned an ambulance to the hotel to
inspect Samantha's injuries and to medically clear Mrs, Nieves and Cassandra. The paramedics stated that Samantha
would not require stitches and that Cassandra did not appear to be injured. hire. Nieves would not allow the paramedics
to look at her but she did not appear to have any injuries from the altercation.
At this point I attempted to Interview Mrs. Nieves and it became apparent that she was highly intoxicated. It was
difficult to get any information from her, as she was hysterical. Samantha approached me and told me that she could
provide all of the information that I needed. Samantha advised me that they had arrived at the hotel from Pennsylvania
approximately (3) three hours before this incident. She stated that her mother and stepfather left the hotel a short time
later to go to a bar and left her in charge of her three siblings. She stated that upon their return to the room approximately
(2) two hours later, her mother and stepfather were Intoxicated. Samantha stated that after a short time her mother went to
bed in the adjoining bedroom and that her stepfather stayed in the train room and watched television with them. She
stated that for some unknown reason her stepfather became angry and went into the adjoining bedroom and began yelling
at her mother. She stated that she heard her mother say, "No, don't!" so she went into the bedroom to see what was
occurring. Samantha stated that her stepfather was hitting her mother and that her mother was holding Blair. She stated
that her stepfather missed her mother several times and struck Blair in the face and head. Samantha stated that her
stepfather took Blair from her mother and that Blair was crying. Samantha stated that she attempted to take Blair from her
stepfather so that he wouldn't get hit again and that her stepfather stated, "You're not taking my son", and he hit her in the
mouth with a closed fist. Samantha stated that she felt severe pain in her mouth, felt dizzy and she could tell that she was
bleeding. She stated that she went Into the bathroom to spit out the blood that had collected in her mouth and then she
went back into the main room. She stated that her stepfather punched her mother In the face and then ran out of the room
with Blair. Samantha stated that she followed her stepfather down into the lobby to try and get Blair from him but she
was unsuccessful. She stated that her stepfather got into the above listed vehicle and left with Blair.
Samantha gave a written statement, in the presence of her mother, regarding the above Information.
A statement could not be taken at this time from Mrs. Nieves due to her intoxication.

On 06 Jan 03 I conducted a follow-up investigation into the above listed Incident.
I contacted the NYS Child Abuse Hotline (1-800.635-1522) and spoke to a Randolph Lukas. I advised Mr. Lukas
of this incident and, after conferring with his supervisors, Mr. Lukas stated that they were declining to register this
Incident in New York State. He stated that because the family resides in Pennsylvania they would not be able to
investigate this incident. Mr. Lukas advised me to contact the Pennsylvania Child Abuse Hotline and report the incident
to them.
I contacted the Pennsylvania Child Abuse Hotline (717.783-8744) and spoke to a Desiree Reed. I advised Ms.
Reed of this incident and she stated that they would not be able to Investigate this incident because it happened in New
York State. She stated that they do not have authority in this incident and that New York State should take the registry.
Ms. Reed took all of the information regarding this incident and stated that she would forward it to Cumberland County
Youth Services, as this is the county that the family resides In. She stated that they would not be able to investigate this
incident, but that they might check on the welfare of the children. She advised me to contact Cumberland County Youth
Services (717-240.6120) to see if they wanted the reports regarding this incident. I was unable to contact Cumberland
County as their office operates during normal business hours (0900-1700).

SURFIELD, SAMANTHA E.
On 21 Dec 02 at approximately 0020 hours while assigned to Unit 34011 responded to the John Milton Inn at
6578 Thompson Road in regards to a physical domestic dispute. Unit 3412, Officer W. Grecoo also responded.
Upon arrival we were met in the lobby by the above listed victim, Samantha Suffield, her mother Crisdna Nieves
(PG), her sister Cassandra Suffield (OT) and her brother Alexander Nieves (OT). Mrs. Nieves was hysterical and stated
that her husband, Angel Nieves (SU) had struck Samantha In the mouth with his fist and then left the hotel with their (3)
three year old son, Blair Nieves (OT). She stated that her husband was intoxicated and that he left in a 1999 or 2000
Dodge Grand Caravan bearing an unknown Pennsylvania dealer plate (later identified as 23470531, which was taken from
the hotel registration card). Mrs. Nieves stated that they were in Dewitt to visit family for Christmas but that her husband
would not go there and would most likely drive back to Pennsylvania. A point of information was immediately broadcast
detailing the above information to all units In Onondaga County. The New York State Police and the Pennsylvania State
Police were also notified. Checks of the area for the above vehicle, including aerial checks of Interstate 81 via the
Onondaga County Sheriffs Office helicopter, gave negative results.
I then checked the injury to Samantha Surfleld and observed that she suffered an approximate (1/2) half-inch
laceration to the inside of her upper lip that was bleeding. She stated that Angel Nieves, who is her stepfather, struck her
in the mouth with a closed fist while he was having a physical dispute with her mother. She stated that besides punching
her, her stepfather shoved Cassandra and she fell to the ground. Samantha stated that her stepfather struck her mother in
the face several times and that at one point he missed her mother and struck Blair in the head. She stated that she was
trying to get Blair away from her stepfather when he punched her in the mouth. I summoned an ambulance to the hotel to
inspect Samantha's injuries and to medically clear Mrs. Nieves and Cassandra. The paramedics stated that Samantha
would not require stitches and that Cassandra did not appear to be injured. Mrs. Nieves would not allow the paramedics
to look at her but she did not appear to have any injuries from the altercation.
At this point I attempted to Interview Mrs. Nieves and it became apparent that she was highly intoxicated. It was
difficult to get any information from her, as she was hysterical. Samantha approached me and told me that she could
provide all of the information that I needed. Samantha advised me that they had arrived at the hotel from Pennsylvania
approximately (3) three hours before this incident. She stated that her mother and stepfather left the hotel a short time
later to go to a bar and left her in charge of her three siblings. She stated that upon their return to the room approximately
(2) two hours later, her mother and stepfather were intoxicated. Samantha stated that after a short time her mother went to
bed in the adjoining bedroom and that her stepfather stayed in the main room and watched television with them, She
stated that for some unknown reason her stepfather became angry and went into the adjoining bedroom and began yelling
at her mother. She stated that she heard her mother say, "No, don't!" so she went Into the bMmom to see what was
occurring. Samantha stated that her stepfather was hitting her mother and that her mother was holding Blair. She stated
that her stepfather missed her mother several times and struck Blair In the face and head. Samantha stated that her
stepfather took Blair from her mother and that Blair was crying. Samantha stated that she attempted to take Blair from her
stepfather so that he wouldn't get hit again and that her stepfather stated, "You're not taking my son", and he hit her in the
mouth with a closed fist. Samantha stated that she felt severe pain in her mouth, felt dizzy and she could tell that she was
bleeding. She stated that she went Into the bathroom to spit out the blood that had collected in her mouth and then she
went back into the main room. She stated that her stepfather punched her mother In the face and then ran out of the room
with Blair. Samantha stated that she followed her stepfather down into the lobby to try and get Blair from him but she
was unsuccessful. She stated that her stepfather got into the above listed vehicle and left with Blair.
Samantha gave a written statement, in the presence of her mother, regarding the above information.
A statement could not be taken at this time from Mrs. Nieves due to her intoxication.

SAMANTHA E.
Mrs. Nieves stated that she only wanted her son back and did not desire prosecution for the dispute between
herself and her husband (violation charge of harassment only). I advised her that I would be completing a case for
endangering the welfare of a child and assault in the third degree for the injuries caused to Samantha. attem number and misspelled histlast name. She stateed th that she did no want us to contract her family gave
because it would nlephone
her
a lot of problems. She refused to elaborate on this issue. As I was unable to contact any family, I stayed with Mrs. Nieves
and her children for over three hours to ensure the children's safety. During this time Mrs, Nieves sobered to a point
where I felt that she could be in control again,
It should also be noted that Samantha is extremely mature for her age. She remained very calm and appeared to
have no problems caring for her siblings. She advised the that she has taken babysitting classes in Pennsylvania and that
she regularly watches her siblings, as well as other children, It was the opinion of Lt. D. D'Arrigo and myself that
Samantha was mature enough to and capable of watching her siblings.
During the course of the investigation Samantha had provided me with a cell phone number for her stepfather. Lt.
twenty minutes later Angel called Lt. D' l Arrigo and tated that he was still in the Syto contact racuse area m Hp e to disclose his
location and would not return to the hotel. He advised Lt. D'Arrigo that Blair was fine and that he was not injured. A
point of information was broadcast that Angel may shill be in the area Area checks gave negative results.
At approximately 0400 hours Angel again contacted Lt. D'Arrigo and advised that he was approximately one and
one half-hours from Syracuse. After speaking to Lt. D'Arrigo he agreed to return to Dewitt to drop off Blair at the hotel.
I contacted the NYSP in Binghamton and they advised that they did not believe that he had made It as far as Binghamton
as they had been looking for his vehicle.
As of 0700 hours, today's date, Angel had not returned to the John Milton Inn. As it was believed that he would
return to the area, I completed a case for Endangering the welfare of a child and Assault in the third degree against Angel
Nieves. I completed a warrant application for the charges and the Honorable Judge D. Gideon signed the arrest warrant.
The warrant was entered into NYSPIN and CHAIRS shortly thereafter.
A File 25 was sent with special attention to the NYSP and the Pennsylvania State Police.
No further information.

I contacted the NYS Child Abuse Hotline (1-800.635-1522) and spoke to a Randolph Lukas. I advised Mr. Lukas
of this incident and, after conferring with his supervisors, Mr. Lukas stated that they were declining to register this
Incident In New York State. He stated that because the family resides in Pennsylvania they would not be able to
Investigate this incident. Mr. Lukas advised me to contact the Pennsylvania Child Abuse Hotline and report the incident
to them.
I contacted the Pennsylvania Child Abuse Hotline (717.783.8744) and spoke to a Desiree Reed. I advised Ms.

Ms. Reed took all of the information regarding this incident and stated that she would forward it to Cumberland County
Youth Services, as this is the county that the family resides In. She stated that they would not be able to investigate this
incident, but that they might check on the welfare of the children. She advised me to contact Cumberland County Youth

PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY
COMES NOW, Petitioner, Catherine.l. Babner, by and through herattorney. Janes J. Kayer, Esquire
who does hereby petition as follows:
1. Petitioner is Catherine Babner, an adult individual, residing at 159 North Locust Point Road,
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent Angel Nieves, Jr., an adult individual, residing at 627 I-loot Owl Road, Boiling
Springs, Cumberland County, PA.
3. Respondent Christina Surfield, an adult individual whose current incarcerated at the SCf at
Cambridge Springs, 451 Fullerton Avenue, Cambridge Springs, PA.
4. The subject child of the proceedings, Blair Mac Millian Nieves, was born March 22, 1999. Angel
Nieves, Jr., and Christina Surfield are the natural parents of this child. Catherine Babner is the matemal aunt
to this child.
5. Previously, this Court has entered an Order dated January 24, 2000 based upon a conciliation
conference in which the Petitioner and Respondent. Christina Surfield attended. A copy of that order is
attached hereto incorporate herein and designated as Exhibit "A".
6. Due to the parents' incarceration. the child was placed in the care and custody of Catherine
Babner.
7. The purpose of the January 24. 2000 Order was to memorialize the custody situation as; it existed
at that time.
8. Since the entry of the January 24. 2000 Order, the respondent. Angel Nieves. Jr.. has been
released from the Cumberland County Prison. Although the parties had worked well in dealing with one
another initially concerning the issues of custody and custody transfers, communications have broken down
between the father and the maternal aunt.
9. The Petitioner believes and therefore avers that the father does not have adequate shelter for the
child. He has not established a residence of his own and has lived at two separate locations in the short time
since lie was released from prison.
10. The Petitioner believes and therefore avers that the best interest and welfare of the child will be
promoted by allowing him to continue to reside with the maternal aunt. The maternal aunt has been the one
constant in the child's life. Additionally, the child has developed close ties with the other five children who
reside with him. Continuing primary physical custody for the maternal aunt and defining with greater
specificity the dates and times that the father shall exercise his periods of physical custody with the child
shall be in the child's best interest.
11. The January 24, 2000 Order preserves the right for either Respondent to raise the issue of
standing with regard to the custody claim of the maternal aunt. It would also be in the best interest of all
parties concern to resolve this issue.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to schedule a conciliation conference to
address the issue raised in this petition.
