ASSAULT WITH FLYOUT ON MATLACK

At 22:10, WCPD and GFAC were dispatched to the report of an assault with injuries at Matlack and Union Streets. Initial reports from County indicated a female subject assaulted a male victim, who suffered a head injury. When GFAC arrived on scene, Medic 91 was requested to respond as the patient was starting to lose consciousness. A few minutes later, SkyCare #1 medevac was requested to fly, with the landing zone set up at the Fame Fire Company (even though Goodwill Fire Company was approximately the same distance from the crime scene and had established several landing zones over the past few years for air-medical helos). In any event the victim was transported by SkyCare to Crozer-Chester Medical Center.

Meanwhile, WCPD officers arrested Tanya Renee Thompson, 34, on charges of aggravated assault and related offenses. There were some reports about a possible second actor involved in the assault, though that has not been confirmed as of yet (WCPD #20070807M0069).

Thompson is another one of those "frequent fliers" who clog up the court system on a regular basis. To wit:

• Thompson is presently on 1 year probation after pleading guilty to Obstructing the Administration of Law or Other Governmental Function on March 13 in front of Judge Phyllis Streitel stemming from an August 30, 2006 incident (CP-15-CR-0004257-2006).
• In March 2004, Thompson pled guilty to Possession of a Controlled Substance With Intent to Deliver following an investigation by PSP/Embreeville narcotics investigators and was sentenced to 6-to-23 months in Chester County Prison (CP-15-CR-0003749-2003).
• On April 28, 2003, Thompson pled guilty to Retail Theft following an incident in West Whiteland and was sentenced to 1 year probation; the remaining charges, including a count of Corruption of the Morals of Minors were nolle prossed (CP-15-CR-0001125-2003).
• On November 26, 1993, Thompson pled guilty to one count of Simple Assault; in exchange for a sentence of 1 year probation, charges of Aggravated Assault, Recklessly Endangering Another Person, Propelling Missile Into Vehicles, Harassment, and Criminal Mischief were nolle prossed (CP-15-CR-0002437-1993).
  

This is not counting dismissals at the District Court level of an Simple Assault case in 2000 (15-1-01, CR-0000295-00) and Aggravated Assault in 2004 (15-1-01, CR-0000379-04), charges of Filing a False Police Report withdrawn to a summary charge of Disorderly Conduct in 2002 (15-1-01, CR-0000578-02), and a Possession of Drug Paraphanalia charge that was withdrawn to summary charges in 2004 (15-1-01, CR-0000383-04) and at least 9 non-traffic summary cases in front of Judge Bruno.

Presuming she is arraigned in front of Judge Knapp and given her track record (or perhaps in spite of same), the "over/under" on the amount of bail is set at $7,500...
