Sheriff says Mac’s Public House co-owner should be in jail; bar lawyers want Sheriff to resign Updated Jan 25, 2021; STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — An attorney for Mac’s Public House is calling the New York City Sheriff a “liar” and says he should resign after what the Grant City bar’s owners and lawyers allege are “unprofessional” actions carried out by his officers in the Dec. 6 arrest of co-owner Daniel Presti. The statements came days after a grand jury of Staten Island residents declined to indict Presti on felony counts of assault and reckless endangerment stemming from the incident in which he allegedly drove into a Sheriff’s Office deputy while trying to flee an arrest for defying city and state coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions.
