Jury Convicts Kingston Man Accused Of Beating Woman Unconscious: DA

KINGSTON, NY — A jury has convicted a Kingston man who was accused of beating a woman unconscious while she held their infant child.

Carlos Caal Chub, 30, of Kingston, was convicted of second-degree assault, third-degree assault, first-degree stalking, third-degree criminal mischief, second-degree unlawful imprisonment, and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

The trial began on March 31, and jurors returned their verdict on April 9, according to the Ulster County District Attorney's Office.

Caal Chub is scheduled to be sentenced June 17.

According to the district attorney’s office, Caal Chub assaulted the victim, the mother of his daughters, at a barbecue on Elmendorf Street on April 20, 2024.

Prosecutors said Caal Chub punched the woman twice in the head after she had intervened in a separate dispute between a different couple at the barbecue. Caal Chub then took the woman’s phone when he saw her trying to call police, prosecutors said, in a news release.

The woman left the event to get her belongings from the couple’s shared home on Robert Street in Ulster, officials said. Prosecutors said he forced entry through a basement door with a hammer, then punched the woman while she held their infant, rendering her unconscious.

Caal Chub also “shoved and harmed their two oldest children,” the district attorney’s office said.

The woman and children fled and sought help from employees at the Bowery Dugout on Ulster Avenue, according to the district attorney’s office.

Ulster County District Attorney Emmanuel C. Nneji said, “The kindness and care from the employees of the Bowery Dugout, and swift response by officers of the Town of Ulster Police Department, helped stop the violent assault.”
