Great Neck man pleads guilty to disorderly conduct after incident with Nassau police

A Great Neck man pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct following an August 2020 confrontation with Nassau police officers in the village.

Kevin Rodriguez, 23, was initially charged with assault on a police officer, obstructing governmental administration, disorderly conduct, two charges of harassment and resisting officers, police said.

But on March 26, 2021, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in satisfaction of those charges, which were sealed by the court. His guilty plea was also sealed by the court.

He received a conditional discharge and a fine.

Police had initially responded to a report of a disturbance at Baker Hill Tavern, located on Middle Neck Road near Beach Road, at 3:30 a.m., police said in a statement. Rodriguez, who was in the bar, approached officers and started yelling at them, they said.

The officers told Rodriguez to leave, but police said he refused. Rodriguez then approached an officer “flaring his arms in an aggressive manner,” police said.
