The boyfriend of a woman charged with abandoning her six-week-old daughter on the side of the road – an allegation she disputes – has been charged with assaulting the woman.
Charging documents claim Cordell Lee Hall, 26, of Baltimore, grabbed Sandra McClary’s wrist several times, and pushed her in the chest and head. He is charged with second-degree assault for the July 4 incident, reports WTOP.
McClary, 26, of Baltimore, was charged Sunday with child neglect and reckless endangerment. Authorities say she left her infant daughter, Angelique, along an Anne Arundel County road. A neighbor spotted the girl in a car seat Saturday night, went to check, found the infant and called police.
Hall reportedly argued several times with McClary because she got lost driving the couple to a party, according to court documents. After the arguments, police say McClary removed the infant carrier from the car, and left the girl and Hall on the side of the road in Pasadena, says WTOP.
McClary told police Hall will kill her if she returns to their home.
