All charges withdrawn against Sharon woman in family incident

A Sharon woman who was accused of forcing her way into a home and assaulting a relative and her two children will not face charges, according to court information.

Kristen Marie Price, 51, of Sharon, had faced felony charges of burglary and three misdemeanor charges, including two counts of endangering the welfare of children and one count of simple assault, as well as trespass.

However, court records show that all charges against Price were withdrawn on May 9. 

Police had been called to a home on Hull Street on the evening of April 26. The alleged victim told police that Price had forced her way into the home after being told to leave.  

The woman told police that Price then assaulted her, grabbing her hair, knocking off her glasses, striking her head, shoving her, and throwing an ashtray and a car seat at her. The assault was reportedly broken up by the woman's husband.  

Police reported seeing a bruise and abrasion on the woman's forehead. Her 8-year-old son had bruising and swelling around his left eye. The woman also reported that Price pushed her 9-year-old daughter in the face. Police didn’t see injuries on the 9-year-old, but she told officers she had been pushed.  

Officers arrested Price at her Delaware Street home later that evening.
