Update: Late last month just before a preliminary hearing was scheduled to take place prosecutors withdrew three of the serious charges filed against Veanna Ingram, including the most serious charge of aggravated assault. Represented by the public defender’s office, Ingram waived her right to a hearing on the lone possession of an instrument of crime charged. She is scheduled to appear next month at the Court of Common Pleas.
