Carrie Solages pleads guilty to disorderly conduct
Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages, a Democrat from Elmont, pleaded guilty to two disorderly conduct violations in a Hempstead court on Sept. 12, and was ordered to take part in a 26-week batterers’ intervention class and submit to drug testing.
Solages, 39, was arrested on June 21, of last year, after “a verbal altercation that escalated to a physical altercation,” according to Lt. Richard Lebrun, of the Nassau County Police Department.
“I am glad the charges were dropped,” Solages said. “I maintained that I did nothing criminal and what happened in court vindicated and validated that. I thank my constituents for supporting me based on my hard work in the community and I look forward to continuing that and the many issues that need to be addressed.”
Solages, who said he is has already taken part in an anger management course, said that he is aiming to work with leaders in the domestic abuse field and establish an organization to help victims.
