Binghamton police arrest suspect in assault, robbery case
27-year-old Hamail Waddell has been arrested for his alleged role in what Binghamton Police say was an assault and robbery at 73 Morgan Rd in Binghamton on Saturday, May 24. Police say the investigation began on Saturday morning at approximately 7 a.m. when BPD received a report of a male victim at Guthrie Lourdes Hospital with facial injuries resulting from a suspected assault.
Through investigation, police believe the woman who lives at 73 Morgan Rd woke up to two men in her room, Waddell and 27-year-old Tahjae Napolean of Endicott. BPD says the two assaulted the victim with a glass object and took property from the victim. Waddell is said to be the ex-boyfriend of the woman who lives there, and had an active Order of Protection against Waddell by the Broome County family court.
Later that day, at around 2:40 p.m., Binghamton detectives located Waddell at 16 Jerome Ave, attempted to take him in, which allegedly was met with resistance. BPD says a responding officer assisting in the arrest broke several ribs in the attempt to arrest Waddell before he was apprehended.
Waddell was notoriously arrested on New Year's Day 2023, which sparked protests and backlash against Binghamton Police after video of the incident appeared online due to an officer kneeling on Waddell's neck while Waddell was face down on the pavement, claiming that he couldn't breathe. Waddell received a conditional discharge for the arrest on New Year's Eve.
Waddell was charged with:
Robbery 1st Degree
Burglary 1st Degree
Burglary 2nd Degree
Criminal Contempt 1st Degree
Criminal Obstruction of Breathing
The incident is still under investigation, and police are still looking for the second suspect, Tahjae Napolean. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Binghamton Police Detective Bureau at (607) 772-7080.

Judge rejects request to suppress Google search information from Cohasset man who allegedly killed, dismembered wife
Walshe pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, disinterring a body, and lying to investigators in connection with the Jan. 1, 2023 slaying of his wife, On New Year's Eve 2022, the couple hosted Ana Walshe's former employer at their house, who left around 1:30 a.m., officials have said. Advertisement The guest told investigators he had dinner with the couple and they shared champagne and wine, according to an affidavit. Brian and Ana Walshe were in a good mood and everyone enjoyed themselves, the guest said. By 4:50 a.m., authorities allege, Ana Walshe, 39, was dead, and the disturbing Google searches started. They included 'how to embalm a body,' '10 ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to,' 'how to stop a body from decomposing,' and 'how long before a body starts to smell.' They were made between 4:55 a.m. and 5:47 a.m. on New Year's Day, prosecutors said. In court papers last month, Walshe's lawyers said he and his prior counsel, Tracy Miner, had reached an agreement on Jan. 6, 2023, allowing authorities to conduct 'a limited search' of Walshe's iPhone and his son's iPad. Advertisement Walshe's consent was necessary at the time because State Police hadn't obtained a warrant for the devices. Walshe's lawyers said the agreement covered 'all communications' between Dec. 25, 2022, and Jan. 6, 2023, the date the electronics were turned over. The sole exception was for communications between Walshe and his lawyer, the filing said. According to the memo, State Police began a forensic search of the devices on the night of Jan. 6, 2023, and continued into the early hours of Jan. 7. An investigator who conducted the work alerted colleagues on the evening of Jan. 7 to the Internet searches in question, which were later referenced in an affidavit for a search warrant, records show. But before a warrant was issued, the filing said, 'police willingly and knowingly violated the agreement by exceeding the agreed-upon scope by downloading and searching the entire content of' Walshe's phone, his son's laptop, and a third laptop with a cracked screen that he turned over. Prosecutors in court papers last month had urged a denial of Walshe's supression motion, arguing that 'discovery of the internet searches and location data from the iPhone and iPad was certain as a practical matter.' Over several days, prosecutors allege, Walshe dismembered his wife's body in the basement and discarded her clothes and other evidence in a dumpster at a liquor store near his mother's home in Swampscott. He also allegedly disposed her remains in dumpsters at apartment complexes in Abington and Brockton. Police also allegedly found blood in the basement of the couple's home. Advertisement Seven days after Ana Walshe's disappearance, police searched the dumpster near the home of Brian Walshe's mother. Inside, they found a COVID vaccination card for Ana Walshe, a Hermes watch, and clothing Ana Walshe was known to wear, according to prosecutors. Forensic testing showed her DNA on items found in the dumpster, prosecutors said. While Brian Walshe failed in his bid to get the Google searches suppressed, he did succeed in getting additional evidence tossed. On Friday, Freniere granted Walshe's request to suppress evidence gleaned from separate search warrants related to a 'GPS install on a 2013 Volkswagen Beetle' with Mass. plates, as well as 'Verizon Records of Cell Phone Number 617-939-8646 insofar it authorized ... location data obtained for December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022,' records show. Walshe is currently held without bail, and his trial is scheduled to begin in October, records show. Travis Andersen can be reached at
