Troy McCoy, 41, was found guilty of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct. His girlfriend, 32-year-old Shakerra Bonds, was found guilty of simple assault and disorderly conduct.
Authorities say in August 2020, the couple visited Sesame Place in Langhorne with their two children. Prosecutors say a 17-year-old worker saw McCoy with his mask down and asked him to pull up. The park had recently reopened with COVID-19 restrictions in place.
A few hours later, on another ride, McCoy started yelling at the teen and Bonds started hitting him, prosecutors said. Then, they say McCoy “sucker-punched” the worker from behind, leaving him with a broken tooth and jaw.
McCoy’s bail was revoked and Bonds was held on $250,000 bail.
