After Robert Reisinger, 72, called into Ellwood City police on January 16, regarding a robbery, an Ellwood City woman was left charged with child endangerment.
Reisinger claimed Kortney May, 27, had come into his store and stole his wallet. The wallet contained $150 in cash, as well as his credit card.
When police arrived at May’s home, the door was answered by two of her children, 10 and 7 years old. The children stated that their father was at work and their mother had gone to a friends house, leaving them in charge of their two other siblings. The police instantly noticed the chaotic state the house had been left in, as well as the dirty state the children were in.
Police located May on Franklin Avenue, but when asked if she was Kortney, she told police no and gave the name Kristen. Police recognized the jacket she was wearing and took her into custody.
Child & Youth Services (CYS) was called on the four children, and they sent a worker down to the home. The worker stated that she had already been working with these children for a period of time.
The children were placed in foster care and had to remain in the care for at least 72 hours until a proper case hearing could take place.
May had only been held for Child Endangerment for a week when her $75,000 bond was paid.
