Two Arrested on Disorderly Conduct Charges, One Peppered

Two Philadelphia women were arrested after allegedly fighting in front of an Abington McDonald’s. 

Natasha Scott, 22, of Pennsgrove Street; and Breshay India Lewis, 18, of North Smedley Street, were arrested May 1 at about 7 p.m. after police said both of them were fighting outside the McDonald’s on Old York Road.

According to police, Lewis and Scott quickly exchanged slaps and punches; police told the two defendants to break it up, and a police officer grabbed Scott in an attempt to break up the fight. Lewis continued to punch Scott even after police had pushed Lewis back several times, police said. A police officer then sprayed Lewis in the face with two bursts of pepper spray.

Both were taken to police headquarters and were later charged with disorderly conduct and harassment; a preliminary hearing for both defendants is scheduled for July 10 at 9 a.m. in front of District Justice John Kessler.
