ROCHESTER, N.Y. – A former City of Rochester employee will spend two years behind bars after pleading guilty to stealing money from a nonprofit and assaulting a police officer.

A judge sentenced Anthony Hall, 39, on Monday in two separate cases. In one, he stole money from a nonprofit while volunteering there. In the other, he shoved an officer responding to a family trouble call.

Hall also got two years of post-release supervision. His assault and grand larceny plea are concurrent, meaning they’re served at the same time.

Hall was the former head of the city’s Pathways to Peace program, an anti-violence group. He also volunteered for CONEA, the Coalition of North East Associations, a nonprofit with overlapping goals. In 2018, he transferred CONEA funds to his personal account for nearly a year.

Two months after pleading guilty in that case, Hall faced more charges stemming from a night in January. In police bodycam video, a woman called 911 because she believed her ex, identified as Hall, broke into her house. Police try to convince Hall to go home, but things escalate.

Police say Hall was drunk and engaged in a lengthy back-and-forth. Hall is seen on camera shoving one of the officers, breaking the officer’s thumb. After that, Hall is tackled and arrested.
