Ahmir Moore-Cobb, 30, of 836 High St., has been arrested and jailed on charges of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend outside his home on Sept. 5, city police alleged in an affidavit. Moore-Cobb approached the woman and punched her “multiple times,” police alleged. When an officer arrived on the scene, he saw “multiple large bumps” on the woman’s forehead as well as a scratch on her left arm, it was stated in the court document. While the woman, who is pregnant with twins, was being treated at UPMC Williamsport, Moore-Cobb was taken before District Judge Aaron Biichle and arraigned on felony aggravated assault on an unborn child, recklessly endangering another person, simple assault, public drunkenness and harassment. He has since waived his preliminary hearing and remains behind bars at the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $125,000 bail.
Montoursville woman accused of assaulting two EMTs
While on routine patrol in Montoursville about 6:15 p.m. Thursday, a state trooper came upon 54-year-old Penny Havens lying on her back on Church Alley, just west of South Washington Street, according to an affidavit. “She appeared to be unconscious,” Trooper Philip Kyle wrote in the court document.
Havens, a resident of the borough, came alert when the trooper approached her to check on her welfare. “I detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her breath. A Montoursville ambulance was dispatched to do a medical evaluation on Havens. The emergency medical technicians determined that there was an issue with the readings of her vitals, and that she would need to go to UPMC Williamsport. “She became non-compliant and unwilling to go to the hospital, so she was placed in hand restraints and sedated. She then allegedly bit” one member of the ambulance staff in the left thigh. Kyle said. While en route to the hospital, she kicked another medical technician in the right leg, the trooper alleged.
Upon being discharged from the hospital, Havens was arraigned before Biichle on two counts each of felony aggravated assault, simple assault, harassment and one count of disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. Havens was initially committed to the Lycoming County Prison, but has since been released on $25,000 bail.
