Rotterdam

A 21-year-old Schenectady woman was charged with felony assault and stalking on Friday after allegedly attacking the girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend at the Wal-Mart store on Altamont Avenue.

Kylee F. Betters of Lansing Street had her 2-year-old child with her when she allegedly began kicking and punching the 23-year-old woman as she and the ex-boyfriend — the father of Betters' child — were leaving the store.

Rotterdam police say that after bystanders broke up the fight, Betters lunged at her ex-boyfriend while he was holding the child.

Police say that Betters grabbed the child and then got in her car and tried to run over the other woman, striking her with her white Infinity and knocking her onto the pavement before speeding away.

Police said that as they were responding to the 911 call made at the time of the attacks, Betters, who had her child with her in the car, went to the Rotterdam Police Department on Princetown Road to file a report that she had been the victim of the attack.

Betters was sent to Schenectady County Jail on $10,000 bail after being charged with assault and reckless endangerment, both felonies; stalking, making a false statement and endangering the welfare of a child, which are misdemeanors; and harassment, which is a violation.

The victim was treated at the scene for soreness and cuts.
