Saratoga Springs Man Charged in Malta Burglary

SARATOGA SPRINGS —A Saratoga Springs man accused of unlawfully entering a residence through a window while armed with a deadly weapon and stabbing one of the residents with a knife, is facing multiple charges for his alleged actions.

The suspected incident occurred while a minor child was present, and the victim – an adult female victim – was transported to Saratoga Hospital by EMS for evaluation and treatment of non-threatening injury.

George S. Tinoco, 48, of Saratoga Springs, was charged with felony burglary, and possession of burglar’s tools and endangering the welfare of a child – both misdemeanors, according to a press release issued by the Saratoga County Sheriff’s on Jan. 22.

The alleged incident relates to a disturbance call in the town of Malta shortly after midnight on Jan. 12 received by the sheriff’s office. An investigation led to the arrest of Tinoco four days later, after he was released from Albany Medical Center where he had been hospitalized for self-inflicted injuries.

Tinoco was arraigned and sent to the Saratoga County Jail in lieu of bail or bond pending further action in the matter.
