Moon Woman Charged With Assault, Resisting Arrest after Disturbance Call

A Moon Township woman is accused of attacking her boyfriend, resisting arrest and spitting on an officer.

Wendy Halfhill, 38, of Moon-Clinton Road, is charged with simple assault, resisting arrest, aggravated harassment by prisoner.

Police said officers were transporting Halfhill home to her daughter's custody around 2:40 a.m. July 11 following a disturbance call at her apartment.

Police helped Halfhill into the door, and police said she screamed obscenities, snapped out and violently punched and clawed at a man, later identified as her boyfriend. Police said he was bleeding from a long cut from the base of his neck to his clavicle.

Police got between the two and led Halfhill to the door. She tried to twist away while being handcuffed and at the police station, she was highly agitated and argumentative. 

Police said Halfhill refused to remove her belt before going in the holding cell, and began pointing her finger at the officer and using obscenities. After the officer had placed her in the cell, she turned around and spit in his face, police said.
