Faith McCarthy is also accused of threatening a third officer with a knife.
Syracuse police officers confer with Chief Frank Fowler, center, at 222 McLennan Ave. where two officers were assaulted on May 19. Syracuse, NY - A Syracuse woman was arraigned this morning on charges she attacked two city police officers with a bottle and threatened a third with a large knife following a disturbance at her grandmother's home.
Faith McCarthy, 28, was arraigned before Onondaga County Judge William Walsh on an 11-count indictment including charges of second-degree assault, attempted first-degree assault, menacing a police officer and criminal possession of a weapon.
She's accused of injuring Officers John "Jerry" Mulherin and Talisha LaGrange May 19 by striking them in the head with a glass bottle as they tried to arrest her on the porch of her grandmother's home at 222 McLennan Ave.
After police took McCarthy into custody and transported her downtown to be booked, she's accused of pulling out a large kitchen knife and threatening Officer Mark Werbeck. Authorities said McCarthy had somehow managed to hide the knife on her body but was disarmed without anyone else being injured.
She's also facing a third-degree robbery charge, accused of forcibly stealing money from her grandmother May 6. That's what police were trying to arrest her for when the officers were injured.
Walsh entered a "not guilty" plea for McCarthy, left bail at $100,000 cash or bond and adjourned the case to June 28 for a conference with Chief Assistant District Attorney Alison Fineberg and defense lawyer Frank Scibilia.
Scibilia said an initial psychiatric evaluation ordered after McCarthy's arrest has determined she is competent to stand trial and assist in her own defense. But he said he may ask for a more intensive psychiatric evaluation to be conducted.
