Court orders probe after wife denies death threat complaint against husband

Sullivan Niles will be spending the next week in prison after his wife’s denial that she made a report to the police that he threatened to kill her prompted a city magistrate to order an investigation.

Magistrate Judy Latchman ordered that Melissa Niles’ report to the police be investigated after she claimed yesterday that she never told the police he placed a knife to her neck and threatened to kill her.

In the interim, the magistrate remanded Sullivan to prison until November 15,
