HUDSON – Police in the City of Hudson have arrested a 34-year-old woman for the ninth time in the last six months when she allegedly attacked a disabled elderly woman with what appeared to be large stick.
Police said on Thursday, October 5, Michelle Moskaluk was charged with armed robbery after she allegedly stole $100 from the woman she assaulted on the 200 block of Warren Street, as well as criminal possession of a weapon and menacing.
She was remanded to the Columbia County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash bail, $100,000 bond and $20,000 partially secured bond.
Police Chief Mishanda Franklin said the department recognizes Moskaluk is a troubled individual in need of assistance; however, they urge the community to use caution if approached by her. They said her attacks are usually unprovoked and unpredictable, and after she has solicited for money or drugs.
Moskaluk has also been arrested by Hudson Police since the spring on charges of torturing an animal, menacing and resisting arrest on April 24; criminal trespass and resisting arrest on April 25 followed by a second arrest on the same date for tampering with physical evidence and drug possession; attempted assault, criminal trespass and resisting arrest on May 22; criminal trespass on August 21; criminal trespass on August 22 and in a second incident on the same day, drug possession; and reckless endangerment on September 7.
