A Lancaster woman faces a felony aggravated assault charge after police say she attacked a woman with a glass shard, resisted arrest, and damaged a patrol vehicle during a domestic dispute.
Quianna Wilson, 23, is charged with a felony count of aggravated assault, along with misdemeanor counts of simple assault, institutional vandalism, resisting arrest, and recklessly endangering another person. She also faces summary counts of harassment and disorderly conduct. She is currently held at Schuylkill County Prison after failing to post $25,000 bail.
Police in Mahanoy City say they responded to a reported physical domestic disturbance at a residence on West Maple at approximately 10 p.m. on July 10. Arriving police were met by two victims, one of whom reported that Wilson physically assaulted her grandmother after being asked to leave the residence. Officers say they could hear Wilson in a front bedroom screaming and throwing items.
Police say the dispute began earlier that day over text messages regarding dog feces in the house. One of the victims told police she had allowed Wilson to stay with her family since July 3, but decided the arrangement was not working and told Wilson she needed to leave. Upon returning home, the victim found Wilson destroying items in her room, including flipping a dresser, and went to get her grandmother for help due to safety concerns.
The grandmother told police that when she confronted Wilson in the front room and told her to leave immediately, Wilson began screaming and physically attacked her. Police say Wilson struck her grandmother in the face and attempted to gouge her eyes with her fingers, injuring her right eye. During the struggle, both women fell to the floor, where Wilson allegedly got on top of the grandmother and continued hitting her.
Police say Wilson then grabbed a full-length mirror and brought it down on the grandmother, shattering it. Wilson allegedly grabbed a shard of glass and struck the grandmother toward her facial area, resulting in scratches to her left face, neck, and shoulder, as well as minor lacerations to her knees. The victim was able to free herself and flee downstairs as police arrived.
When police made contact with Wilson, she initially refused to open the bedroom door, screamed obscenities, and refused to follow orders to gather her belongings. As police escorted her toward the stairs, Wilson pulled away, entered another bedroom, punched a door off its hinges, and threw a dresser onto the floor. Police say Wilson broke another door when they attempted to direct her downstairs.
Wilson was eventually forcibly removed from the home. Outside, police say she resisted arrest and refused to give police her hands, requiring several police to restrain her and place her in a patrol car. While in the vehicle, Wilson allegedly struck the patrol car door forcibly, causing visible damage.
According to police, Wilson was transported to the police station, where she again resisted entering the building and began slamming and kicking her cell door. In addition to the patrol car and cell damage, police noted Wilson caused damage to a television and two doors inside the residence during the incident.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 23 before Magisterial District Judge Anthony Kilker.
