CUMBERLAND — A city woman was arrested Monday for allegedly spraying a person in the face with a can of wasp spray in the 400 block of Furnace Street, according to Cumberland Police.
Officers took Helen Kelso-Demontigny, 61, into custody at the scene on charges of first- and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct before she was jailed without bond at the Allegany County Detention Center.
