A Uniontown woman awaiting trial for assaulting a toddler has pleaded guilty to criminal trespass in a separate case.

Kelsha Carney Barnes, 28, pleaded guilty to the charges of criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief from an incident occurring Sept. 29 at Pershing Court in Uniontown.

In exchange for her guilty plea, the Fayette County prosecutors offered a sentence of 3 to 12 months incarceration along with restitution in the amount of $275 to Pershing Court.

Barnes is currently lodged in the Fayette County Prison in lieu of $10,000 since Sept. 29 for the incident to which she pleaded guilty.

Barnes is also awaiting trial for another incident at Pershing Court in February where she allegedly climbed through a window in the apartment of Tiffany Sanner at 1 a.m. Police allege she did so to attack Sanner.

During the attack, police alleged Barnes kicked Sanner’s 3-year-old son in the chest.

The boy and Sanner were not injured, and Barnes was charged with burglary and harassment.
