Financier Dale Cheney who jumped out of a rooftop bar in New York faces criminal prosecution.

Dale Cheney, a Connecticut financier who jumped out of a Manhattan rooftop bar last week, has been charged with a felony, according to the report.

Cheney, 46, who filed for divorce from his wife days before he flew out of the 54 bar in the Hyatt Centric Times Square, was charged with two misdemeanors on January 16 following a domestic dispute at the couple’s spacious New Canaan home, The Wilton Bulletin reported.

His wife, Lauren Cheney, received a restraining order against her husband following an incident in which the financier was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, the publication reported.

The investment banker was released on $25,000 bail after appearing in court in Stamford.

Cheney, a father of three children aged 20 and over, filed for divorce on January 23 – two days before his death in Midtown.

Police said he fell out of a rooftop bar at West 45th Street and Seventh Avenue around 6:30 p.m., which was later ruled a suicide.

Law enforcement sources told The Post that cops were twice called to Cheney’s former home on the Upper East Side in connection with domestic disputes in 2008.

Cheney founded T-street Capital, an independent investment firm in Darien, Connecticut, in 2013.

At the time of his death, he lived in a spacious six-bedroom, seven-bath home in New Canaan that was valued at more than $3.8 million, records show.

The woman who answered the door of the house last week declined to comment.
