Assault and theft alleged

WINSTED — A Winsted woman faces a series of charges, stemming from two separate incidents, that include an alleged assault and cell phone theft, as well as credit card fraud.

Chelsea Munroe, 19, of Wallens Street was arrested on a warrant at Bantam Superior Court Tuesday and charged with assault, robbery, breach of peace, larceny, threatening and disorderly conduct. According to Winsted Deputy Police Chief Robert Scannell, Munroe physically assaulted a friend and then “forcibly� took the friend’s cell phone during an incident that occurred at her home Feb. 8.

Bail was set at $45,000 by the court.

Munroe, however, was already in court on Tuesday to answer several charges related to a separate incident that took place on Dec. 21, 2009, at her Wallens Street home. She allegedly stole a credit card from her mother’s purse and then attempted to use it to purchase items, Scannell said.

Munroe turned herself in Tuesday after learning an arrest warrant had been issued for the Dec. 21 incident. She was charged with credit card theft, larceny, illegal use of a credit card, criminal impersonation, forgery and larceny. Munroe was held on a separate court-set bond of $25,000.

Police said additional arrests are expected in relation to the Feb. 8 incident.
