Alleged assault on pregnant girl leads to charges
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.
