FROM THE TOWNSHIP...

While I wasn't personally present, on Monday, West Chester Police prosecuted three criminal cases at District Court 15-2-06 in Downingtown, all directly or indirectly involving family or other domestic disputes in East Bradford...

In one case, a 51-year-old West Chester man was charged with 2 counts of aggravated assault, 3 counts of simple assault, reckless endangerment, and 2 weapons offenses following a domestic incident in the township early in the morning on April 19. After a hearing, Stewart Coyle Thomas was held for trial on all counts except for the count of "Make Repairs/Sell/Etc. Offensive Weapons" and is free on $5,000 unsecured bail. (15-2-06; CR-0000159-07)

Also pending in Downingtown on Monday were two cases which stemmed from a domestic disturbance in East Bradford. During the early evening hours of April 24, P/O Rey Melendez and other officers from Squad 4 responded to a report of a physical domestic with a possible weapon involved on the 1100 block of Forest Drive. During the incident, GFAC and Medic 91 responded to the scene, however no patients on scene required treatment or transport to the hospital.

Once the scene was secured, two people were arrested and processed at WCPD headquarters. Cheryl Ann Carnetta, 45, was charged with 2 counts of Simple Assault, and 1 count each of Possession of a Weapon, Possession of an Instrument of Crime, and Terroristic Threats; all charges against Carnetta were withdrawn. (15-2-06; CR-0000168-07) Wayne Shaw, 48, was charged with 2 counts of Simple Assualt, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of Drug Paraphanalia; Shaw had all charges held for the Court of Common Pleas and is free on $10,000 bail. (15-2-06; CR-0000169-07)
