Newbie Woman Accused of Attempting to Hit Man, Injuring Woman Due in Court Tomorrow

CLARION CO., Pa. (EYT) — A hearing is scheduled for tomorrow for a New Bethlehem woman who reportedly attempted to assault a man, then punched a woman several times.

Court documents indicate 40-year-old Mandy Lynn Downs is scheduled to stand for a preliminary hearing in front of Magisterial District Judge Jeffrey C. Miller at 10:15 a.m. on Tuesday, September 15.

She faces the following charges:

– Simple Assault, Misdemeanor 2
– Harassment — Subject Other to Physical Contact, Summary (two counts)

She remains free on $1,000.00 unsecured bail.

The charges stem from an incident that recently occurred in Redbank Township.

Details of the case:

According to a criminal complaint, around 7:14 p.m. on Wednesday, August 12, PSP Clarion were dispatched to a residence on Paradise Road in Fairmount City, Redbank Township, Clarion County, in reference to a domestic incident.

A known male victim reported that Mandy Downs was “drunk” and attempted to kick him in the crotch and punch him. The victim told police he was able to escort Downs out of the rear entrance of the residence and shut the door behind her, according to the complaint.

A second victim reported that after Downs was escorted out of the residence, she came back inside through a front entrance, then went into a bedroom. The victim told police that she asked Downs to leave the room. Downs came out of the bedroom and then hit her multiple times with a closed first, at least one of those times on the forehead, the complaint states.

Police observed a fresh “goose egg” injury to the female victim’s forehead that was allegedly caused by Downs striking her, according to the complaint.

Downs was arraigned in front of Magisterial District Judge Jeffrey C. Miller at 10:00 p.m. on August 12.
