A Falls Township woman is accused of endangering the welfare of children, throwing a 6-year-old child to the ground and kicking a police officer.
Bree Terebecki, 34, of the Fairless Hills section of the township, was arrested Wednesday night after causing problems at an address on Oak Lane in Falls.

According to police paperwork, Terebecki arrived to her aunt’s Oak Lane house where she resides with her husband and his two children around 10 p.m. intoxicated. Her husband would not let her in the home because she was “heavily intoxicated,” but she eventually came in through an open back window.
Once inside the home, Terebecki charged her husband and ripped his shirt, police said.
After Terebecki’s husband told his 9-year-old child to call police, the intoxicated woman smashed her husband’s phone and slammed his 6-year-old child to the ground several times, causing the child to strike their head on a coffee table, police said.
