Marcelino Allende, 31, of Staten Island, is being held on bail after being arraigned on charges stemming from a March 25 incident in which he allegedly swung a knife at police officers who had come to arrest him. Allende, who is facing felony charges including criminal possession of a weapon, menacing an officer, and resisting arrest, was held on $50,000 cash bail or $100,000 bond at 10% by Justice Lisa Grey. According to the criminal complaint, members of the warrant squad showed up at his door, identifying themselves and notifying him he was under arrest in connection with a prior assault. Allende opened his door, armed with a knife, and started swinging. One officer discharged a taser that was ineffective, and another discharged one round from his firearm, causing no injuries. The proceedings were adjourned to May 8th.
