MUNNSVILLE — A Madison County woman alleged to be high on drugs is dead after assaulting her child and receiving a Taser shock while she struggled with police.
According to State Police, around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday Troopers were called to an apartment on North Main Street in the Village of Munnsville for a report of a woman assaulting her three-year-old child.
When police arrived, they say they found 35-year-old Pamela McCarthy apparently under the influence of “bath salts”, an illegal synthetic drug. Police say Trooper Christopher Budlong attempted to arrest McCarthy, who was “violently combative” according to police and resisted attempts to handcuff her. Budlong used his police-issued pepper spray on McCarthy to no effect, so he then deployed his Taser and was able to handcuff McCarthy with the help of rescue personnel.
Police then say that after McCarthy was taken into custody she went into apparent cardiac arrest. She was taken by ambulance to Oneida Healthcare, where she later died.
Police say the child was taken by ambulance to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse. He was treated for minor injuries and released to family members.
Troopers say an autopsy is scheduled for today to determine a cause of death, and the Madison County District Attorney’s Office will take the case to a Grand Jury upon completion of the investigation.
McCarthy’s neighbors say they called police when they observed McCarthy punching her son, attacking neighbors, and strangling one of her dogs.
Jason Williams, McCarthy’s boyfriend, said he saw her choking their son and ran outside to take the boy from her.
According to one neighbor, “‘She was Naked just running back and forth around the street and she got a hold of one of her dogs and she was rolling around on the ground with her legs wrapped around it – she was strangling the dog.”

You know, this insanity really makes me think of 28 days later.. People are just out of their damn minds.
so this drug has been around for a minute….why all of the sudden are people stripping naked and attacking people? wtf? it doesnt make sense.
This is crazy… I agree with Jessica, Why all the sudden would this “Drug” be causing this? It just don’t make sense. Authority’s need to get a handle on this drug and stop this shit from happening!
I agree Natasha Rich this drug almost cost me my marriage, husband was on it and now clean but still seeing things, he thought i was plotting to get him and masturbating, phone sex grabbed my little dog, bye the neck she weights 3 lbs
Every time I hear about this Bath Salts thing, it reminds me of Principal Snyder on “Buffy.” Every vamp attack was covered up by saying “Gang related. PCP.”
Listening to the doctor’s who are describing the symptoms of this it appears that prolonged use of the drug can cause zombie like behavior. So perhaps these people have been using it for awhile. I live in a huge brownstone apt building in Md and one night I was awakened by a growling sound in the vestibule. I get up to check it out and there’s a guy in the hall clearly hallucinating and ripping out his own gums, needless to say I dialed 911. They responded in a few minutes. But can I tell you this guy was throwing cops left and right. He exhibited super human strength and he looked so crazy in the eyes. They finally had to taze him 10 times before they could control him. It was absolutely unbelievable. If you see someone naked coming in your direction RUN!
Bath salts are legal not illegal. your face is tasty
