Manginell says she killed her husband in self defense. The trial is scheduled to begin April 24th. There's more trouble for the former Johnstown police officer who recently resigned after overdosing on drugs. The Cambria County District Attorney has now filed child abuse charges against Robert Hayes. Hayes is accused of hitting his girlfriend's six-year old daughter with a flashlight and a spatula.
Authorities say the child was left with large bruises as a result of the alleged attack.
For the second time in a week, police have been called to a disturband at an Altoona Easter candy store. Striking workers from Boyer Candy are picketing at the Peter Cottontail Shoppe along Plank Road and Union Avenue in Altoona because, they say, Boyer products are being sold there. Police showed up at the store Monday after a report that strikers were harassing customers. Last week, officers were called to that store to order strikers off the property. Donald Carlin of Ebensburg and his mother, Maurice Roupe, were killed when a truck went airborne over a median strip and landed on top of their car.
