Toni Monroe, who is the mother of the 15-year-old, was arraigned in court on Aug. 13, having been charged in connection with the assault
A mother has been charged with assault after she allegedly hit and injured a teenager with a Stanley Cup at a school in New York.
Toni Monroe, 35, allegedly struck a 14-year-old girl 'multiple times' with a water bottle during an altercation between the student and her 15-year-old daughter on Aug. 12 at Brentwood High School in Long Island, the Suffolk County police said in a news release.
Police stated that the 14-year-old student was exiting the school when she and a 15-year-old girl exchanged words at around 11 a.m. local time. Monroe, who is the mother of the 15-year-old, then allegedly struck the 14-year-old several times with a metal water bottle before a security guard broke up the altercation.
A short time later, the mother was arrested in the parking lot, according to the police news release. The injured 14-year-old was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The injured teenager has been identified as Brentwood High School student Madison Evans, per ABC 7 New York.
In footage obtained by the outlet, two teenage girls are seen in a heated exchange at the school, before an individual believed to be Monroe is heard telling one of the girls, who appears to be her daughter, 'Give me your Stanley.' She then seems to strike the other girl repeatedly with the Stanley Cup, as she is heard screaming.
Evans received a bloody gash on her forehead in the alleged attack, which required 17 stitches, per ABC 7 New York
'She threw a punch, I threw a punch back and we started fighting and her mom just came in and started beating me with the cup,' Evans said, per NBC New York. 'Next thing you know, I get pushed into the school and I saw blood dripping … I saw blood all over my hands.'
Monroe was charged with assault in the second degree and endangering the welfare of a child following the incident.

At her arraignment in court on Aug. 13, Monroe's lawyer claimed that she was at the school at the time to attend a meeting about her daughter being bullied, per ABC 7 New York. The lawyer also denied that Monroe punched the girl, alleging that Evans attacked her daughter first.
Monroe was released after the arraignment with supervision and signed an order of protection to stay away from Evans, according to the outlet.
"We are aware of the incident that occurred yesterday during dismissal involving two students and a parent," Brentwood High School said in a statement on Aug. 13, per News 12 Long Island. "The safety and well-being of our students is always our highest priority, and this type of behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our schools."

Son of Norway's crown princess charged with rape and assault
OSLO (Reuters) -The son of Norway's crown princess has been charged with rape, domestic violence, assault and other crimes following a year-long police investigation, a prosecutor said on Monday. Marius Borg Hoiby, 28, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit and stepson to Crown Prince Haakon, is expected to stand trial early next year and could face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty of the most serious charges, the prosecutor said. Hoiby has denied the most serious accusations against him, including those of rape and domestic violence, his lawyer Ellen Holager Andenaes has said. Andenaes did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday. He has yet to appear before court to enter formal pleas on the charges. Hoiby does not have a royal title and is outside the line of royal succession. "It is up to the courts to hear this case and to reach a decision," the royal palace said in a statement. Police in November 2024 held Hoiby in detention for one week as part of the investigation. He was charged on Monday with 32 criminal offences, including one count of rape with sexual intercourse and three counts of rape without intercourse, some of which he filmed on his telephone, the prosecution said. "It's up to the judges to decide if he is guilty," Prosecutor Sturla Henriksboe told a press conference. Police in August last year named Hoiby as a suspect of physical assault against a woman with whom he had been in a relationship. Hoiby, in a statement to the media at the time, admitted to causing bodily harm to the woman while he was under the influence of cocaine and alcohol and of damaging her apartment. Hoiby said he regretted his acts.

Browns sign undrafted WR Isaiah Bond to three-year deal
The Cleveland Browns are helping out their starting quarterback, whoever it may be, with a little more help at wide receiver. Former Texas Longhorns wide receiver Isaiah Bond is signing a three-year deal with Cleveland Monday after he went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to reports. The deal is worth a fully guaranteed $3.018 million, per those same reports. Bond, 21, turned himself into the police for an outstanding warrant for sexual assault just a few weeks before the NFL draft in April. Last Thursday, Bond posted to social media that his charges had been dropped and that he planned to sign with the Browns. According to reports, Bond will begin practice with the Browns as soon as Tuesday, when the team returns to action for the first time after their Saturday clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.

2 officers killed and a third is wounded in a Utah shooting, authorities say
Crime Gun violenceFacebookTweetLink Follow Two police officers responding to a domestic disturbance call were shot and killed in Utah and a man was taken into custody after bystanders persuaded him to drop the gun, authorities said Monday. A sheriff's deputy and a police dog were shot and wounded in their car as they arrived to help at a neighborhood in Tremonton on Sunday night. The deputy was released from the hospital Monday and the dog was hospitalized in fair condition, police said. 'These officers are definitely heroes,' Police Chief Cade Reyes in neighboring Brigham City said at a news conference Monday morning. Police received multiple 911 hang-up calls from a home in the city. A single officer from the Tremonton-Garland Police Department arrived first and was speaking to someone at the home when the man came out with a gun, police said in a news release. Reyes said he believed the man lived at the house. 'The male opened fire on the officer, striking and killing the officer,' the news release said. A second officer from the department who responded 'was immediately fired upon by the same male suspect' and was killed, it said. After the officers were shot, bystanders persuaded the man to put down his weapon, police said. SWAT teams responded to clear the home and verify that there was no further threat, police said. 'Upon arrival, they immediately began taking fire,' Police Detective Crystal Beck of neighboring Brigham City told reporters earlier. 'They requested additional units. And then stopped answering their radio.' The man was arrested on charges of aggravated murder, police said in the news release. The names of the officers and the suspect have not been released. Tremonton, which has about 10,000 people, is in northern Utah about 75 miles (121 kilometers) north of Salt Lake City.
