Judge Accused Of Shooting Ex Who Told Her To Move Out 'Numerous Times'

A suspended Pennsylvania judge was arrested on Thursday and accused of shooting her ex-boyfriend in the head after he asked her to move out several times.

Dauphin County Magisterial District Judge Sonya M. McKnight, 57, is charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault of her ex, Michael McCoy, who was shot while in bed of his Harrisburg home on Feb. 10, according to an affidavit obtained by HuffPost.

According to theAssociated Press, McKnight had been suspended in November for unrelated misconduct.

The affidavit states that McKnight called 911 to report her ex-boyfriend, McCoy, “couldn’t see” and asked if an ambulance could come and get him. Police said McKnight did not tell 911 dispatchers what happened and claimed she was sleeping and heard him scream.

Responding officers arrived on the scene and found McCoy was alive, but had sustained a gunshot wound to the face next to his right eye, the affidavit read. According to the document, neither McCoy nor McKnight told officers what exactly happened, besides McCoy stating, “I did not shoot myself.”

Investigators soon discovered that McCoy had recently broken up with McKnight, ending a one-year relationship. According to the affidavit, McKnight was living with McCoy full-time while they were together.

Police said McCoy removed his house keys from McKnight’s key ring on Feb. 4 after he “attempted numerous times” to get her to leave, but she refused.

The next day, McCoy was surprised when he found McKnight inside his home after returning from work.

“He immediately yells at her asking: What is she doing there? How did she get into the home? Why is she there?” the affidavit read.

McKnight told McCoy that she took his spare keys, according to the affidavit.
