At 2:15 AM on December 25, 2015 Lancaster City Police officers responded to the 200 blk. of E. Chestnut St. for a report of an intoxicated male causing a disturbance. Upon arrival officers found an intoxicated 30-year-old male inside of the foyer of an apartment building on the north side of the street with injuries to his eye and lip. This male was arrested for Public Drunkenness and conveyed to the police station. While at the station, officers examined the male more closely and discovered a laceration to the back of his head. The man was subsequently conveyed to Lancaster General Hospital and admitted as trauma patient. The male was unable to tell officers how he sustained these injuries.

Medical personnel at LGH advised that the 30-year-old male had sustained two black eyes, facial lacerations, a broken nose and a brain bleed. The victim now has cognitive issues, memory lapses, trouble speaking, trouble walking and is in need of a wheelchair for mobility.

Lancaster Safety Coalition surveillance video for this date was reviewed and the victim was observed in the 200 blk. of N. Shippen St. in the area of Molly's Pub carry-out. (Molly's Pub, 253 E. Chestnut St., is approximately one-half block from the location where the victim was found in the apartment foyer.) The victim was observed being struck, punched and kicked by at least three people. Two of these people were identified by Det. Michael Gerace as Anthony J. Maglietta, 43-year-old male, and Raymond Lee, 39-year-old male.

Det. Gerace requested surveillance video from Anthony Maglietta, who is the owner of Molly’s Pub, and advised him that one of his employees, Raymond Lee, may have been involved in an assault on Dec. 25th. Maglietta stated he would review the surveillance video for that date and that he would contact Det. Gerace. Maglietta did not contact Det. Gerace, despite Det. Gerace leaving several voice messages. Several days later, Det. Gerace contacted Maglietta again, and Maglietta told Det. Gerace that he had reviewed the video and that the cameras weren’t working and/or did not capture anything.

Det. Gerace then applied for a Search Warrant to download and examine all recordings from surveillance cameras located on DVR systems inside of Maglietta's home and Molly's Pub carry-out. Surveillance footage was collected from Maglietta's surveillance system, and there was in fact a recording of the assault that occurred on Dec. 25th, and this video shows Maglietta, Lee, and two other males striking, punching and kicking the 30-year-old male victim. Maglietta can also be seen on his own surveillance video purposely turning a camera out of view to avoid part of the assault being captured.

Anthony Maglietta was subsequently charged with Aggravated Assault, Criminal Conspiracy to commit Aggravated Assault, Obstructing Administration of Law, and Tampering with or Fabricating Physical Evidence. He was arrested on Jan 5, 2016 and committed to Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $300,000.00 bail. He later posted bail and was released.

Raymond Lee was charged with Aggravated Assault, Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Aggravated Assault, and Hindering Apprehension or Prosecution. A warrant was issued for his arrest.

As this investigation continued, three additional suspects were identified as Joshua ELLIS, 32-year-old male, Alexander RODRIGUEZ-CRUZ, 25-year-old male, and Francisco G. CAMACHO, 28-year-old male. Ellis and Rodriguez-Cruz were both charged with Aggravated Assault and Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Aggravated Assault. Camacho was charged with Aggravated Assault, Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Aggravated Assault, and also with Robbery, as Camacho is seen on surveillance video removing items from the victim's pockets during the assault.

Camacho was located at Lancaster County Prison, where he was being held on an unrelated charge. He will be arraigned on these new charges at a later date.

Rodriguez-Cruz was arrested at Molly's Pub on the evening of Jan. 6th, 2016. He was arraigned and committed to Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $50,000.00 bail.

A warrant was issued for Joshua Ellis.
