Mother charged in Withrow assault speaks out | News

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19)- A local mother facing charges for assaulting a student at Withrow High
School last week.

On Thursday, she sat down with FOX19's Tricia Macke to share her side of the
story.

"I never was aggressive until the girl shocked me, coming towards me to
hit me." said Precious Allen, a woman now facing felonious assault
charges.

According to a police report, Precious Allen, 31, and Dawn Brunner, 28,
entered a Withrow classroom, managing to by-pass security, where Allen
proceeded to punch and kick a student.

Allen's daughter, whose name has not been released due to her age, joined in
on the assault, hitting the victim in the face. The victim suffered visible
injuries to her face and body but is expected to be okay.

However, in an interview on Thursday, Allen claimed she came to the school
to with the sole purpose of withdrawing her daughter because the girl was
being bullied.

In addition, she said it was the alleged bully who tried to fight her and
her daughter, and Allen's involvement was just break it up.
