Charges Against Woman Accused of
Hitting Child with Phone Bound to Court
Charges against a woman accused of throwing a cell phone that hit a 3-year-old boy in the head have been bound to court following a preliminary hearing in front of District Judge Dominic Cercone.
20-year-old Amber Moore got into a fight with another woman at the YWCA domestic violence shelter on the evening of January 8, according to papers filed in Cercone’s office. Police say when they arrived Moore was “screaming and acting highly combative” and would not calm down when they asked. Even after they handcuffed her, Moore allegedly continued to scream obscenities and slurs at police and the other woman in the shelter.
The incident started when Moore and another woman were having a verbal fight, but then Moore allegedly hit the woman in the face, causing bruising and swelling.
She also allegedly threw a cell phone at the other woman but missed and hit the toddler in the forehead, causing a laceration that needed stitches. Court papers say she threw the phone so hard it snapped in half when it hit the child.
Moore is free on bail.
