Carlisle Woman Faces Multiple Charges Following Domestic Incident

Ashley Mount, 24, was arrested on July 30, 2025, following a domestic disturbance in the 200 block of Lincoln Street in Carlisle Borough.

Carlisle Police responded to the scene at approximately 1:50 p.m. after receiving reports that Mount, described as highly intoxicated, threatened two individuals with a pizza cutter and a knife. Officers were also informed that a known wanted individual was inside the residence.

Mount denied officers entry to search for the wanted person, prompting police to obtain a search warrant. During her arrest, Mount resisted and allegedly spit on an officer.

A search of the residence led to the apprehension of the wanted subject. Authorities also found the living conditions in the home to be hazardous to the health and safety of two children residing there.

Mount was charged with:

  • Two counts of endangering the welfare of a child
  • One count of assault on a law enforcement officer
  • Two counts of terroristic threats
  • One count of hindering apprehension
  • One count of resisting arrest
  • One count of disorderly conduct
  • One count of harassment

She was arraigned the same day and transported to Cumberland County Prison. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
