At 9:15 p.m., Batavia police responded to 8 Wood St. for a physical domestic incident and found a female victim with a laceration to her neck. The victim indicated the suspect, Reynauldo Diaz-Ruiz, had cut her with a knife and was still inside the apartment. Officers located the man and attempted to take him into custody, but he allegedly refused to comply and physically resisted arrest.
Officers were eventually able to subdue Diaz-Ruiz and take him into custody after deploying a Taser. Diaz-Ruiz was transported to the Batavia Police Department where he allegedly attempted to take the service weapon of the escorting officer, who was able to subdue Diaz-Ruiz until additional officers arrived. Diaz-Ruiz was then transported to UMMC for a medical evaluation and released a short while later to the custody of Batavia PD.
Through investigation it was learned Diaz-Ruiz is in the country illegally.
Diaz-Ruiz was arraigned in Batavia City Court with the assistance of a court-appointed interpreter on the following charges:
- First-degree assault (Class B felony);
- Third-degree attempted robbery (Class E felony);
- Second-degree attempted escape (Class E felony);
- Fourth-degree attempted grand larceny (misdemeanor);
- Attempted menacing a police officer (Class E felony);
- Attempted criminal possession of a firearm (misdemeanor);
- Second-degree menacing (misdemeanor);
- First-degree reckless endangerment (Class D felony);
- Second-degree reckless endangerment (misdemeanor);
- Fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon (misdemeanor);
- Criminal mischief;
- Resisting arrest (misdemeanor);
- Obstruction of governmental administration (two counts).
Diaz-Ruiz was put in Genesee County Jail without bail. An immigration detainer was also lodged against him.
The Batavia Police Department was assisted by Mercy medics, the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office, and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency out of Batavia.

Thomas Callan,
I'd be willing to bet this dude will be deported
Possibly, Dave.
Possibly, Dave.
But, before he is deported, he should be made to do the maximum time allowable for his crimes (if found guilty).
It does little to simply put someone on an airplane and say, "Now, don't come back, because that's against the law". It (allegedly) didn't bother him to come here, illegally, the first time. So, what would be his incentive to not do it again -and again-and again?
MAYBE, if he's deported AFTER languishing for 5, 10 or 15 years, in prison, he (might) not think it's worth it.
Sure, it's a burden to clothe, feed and provide for prisoners, but, some of the "bad" hombres don't figure they've lost much (other than a little time), if we just fly them back to their home country. The "bad" ones have no qualms about robbing, stealing, maiming or murdering people in their own countries, if it helps finance their ILLEGAL "return" trips back here. But, every 10 years of age that they gain, sitting in a prison cell, quick can produce an old man that just figures it isn't worth it (how many 60, 70 year olds do we hear about coming here, illegally?).
Dave, in lieu of prosecution,
Dave, in lieu of prosecution, and a nice pat on the back. Ed, we can only hope? This whole snake-pit goes back to smiling jimmy carter. Think about when it started,,,, November 1979. What a total wuss! This is what Frank Reagan refers to as "Broken Windows". Shortly after, fidel castro flushed his jails, and mental hospitals and that waste ended up in Florida. Noriegia, Estobon, and their ilk spread out in all directions. Now it is way to late for "Broken Windows". Yes, their are good people who want to play by the rules, but without stopping the cancer or Broken Windows, this is the result. Finally I quote Terry Kath from the classic rock band Chicago - " It better End Soon my friend"
