A warrant was issued for a Monessen woman after she allegedly assaulted a woman and stole her phone at about 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Kaleia Lubich-Howard, 22, is charged with robbery, simple assault and two counts of criminal mischief.

Lubich-Howard allegedly grabbed her cellphone before breaking another window and ran away.
Harris chased her down Dunlap Street and took back her phone, police said.
As Harris was walking back to her car, Lubich-Howard allegedly pulled her to the ground by her hair, punched her and kicked her in the face until another person intervened.
She then allegedly damaged the vehicle’s windshield and ran away, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed in her case.
Uniontown police said that Harris had scratches and swelling to her face, small scratches on her arms from broken glass and injuries to the fingernails on her left hand.
The phone is an iPhone 7 plus valued at $649. Lubich-Howard allegedly broke the screen. The vehicle damage will cost about $550 to repair, police said.
