Stroller tipped over in domestic dispute
OXFORD – The Oxford Police Department responded to a public domestic dispute that transpired in front of the fire station Monday, which involved a stroller being tipped over and passing motorists being yelled at after they stopped to help.
Oxford Police Chief Richard Nolan said Shawn Cummings, 31, and Rebecca Johnson, 18, both of 16 Merchant St., Oxford, were charged with endangering the welfare of a child and disorderly conduct after the two allegedly tipped over a stroller with their two-month-old baby during a fight on the sidewalk.
Nolan said Johnson was holding the stroller when Cummings went to grab her; a brief struggle ensued which resulted in the baby being tipped over while still in its seat, he said.
A passing motorist who witnessed the scene unfold decided to pull his vehicle over to check the child’s welfare and offered assistance to the couple, said Nolan.
However, the grandmother of the child, 42-year-old Mary Johnson of 190 County Road in the Town of Norwich, approached the man and began yelling obscenities at him after he attempted to intervene in the couple’s fight.
“He was really just trying to help the situation,” said the chief.
Mary Johnson was later charged with disorderly conduct for acting violently and yelling obscenities at the man.
Nolan said police received a number of phone calls from passing motorists and local residents over the altercation.
“A number of witnesses called the PD during this domestic dispute and requested something to be done,” said Nolan.
Police said the fight originated over a dispute regarding a cell phone.
No injuries were reported and all those charged were issued an appearance ticket for Village of Oxford Court and released.
