According to a police spokesperson, Murray was charged with two felony counts of assaulting a police officer and three misdemeanors counts, one each of resisting arrest, inciting to riot, and obstruction of governmental administration. Murray has no prior arrests, the spokesman said. No date has been announced yet for Murray’s arraignment, where he will enter his plea and have an opportunity to contest the charges.
Murray worked as an organizing coordinator for 32BJ, a 145,000-member New York affiliate of the Service Employees International Union, known as SEIU, which has more than two million members nationally.

“Murray’s base salary is $91,117” Kim said, but she added that he received another $14,347 last year as “a cellphone and travel allowance,” bringing his total pay for 2013 to $105,464.

A Harvard-educated poet and professor, Linsker was arrested early Sunday morning and released without bail later that day. Though police had initially reported that Linsker was carrying a black ski mask along with the hammers, that was not mentioned in the criminal complaint against him.
In court, Linsker’s lawyer did not dispute that he was carrying the hammers but pointed out that the complaint against Linsker made no claims that he intended to use the hammers for criminal purposes.
