A 20-year-old Pitt County woman is facing four charges after she allegedly broke another woman's car windows and swung a baseball bat while attempting to hit another person during a fight this month, then refused to drop the weapon when Greenville police ordered her to. Kennasia Condery was taken to the Pitt County jail and now faces a $12,000 bond tied to the incident.
According to court warrants cited by WITN, Greenville police were in the process of breaking up a fight between individuals when Condery held and swung a bat while attempting to hit another person. The warrants state she broke another woman's car windows and then threatened her, the report notes. Officers on scene asked Condery to put the bat down, but records show she refused.
Charges Range Up to the Highest Misdemeanor Level
Condery was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, communicating threats, injury to personal property, and resisting a public officer, per the same court records. Assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill or cause serious injury is classified under North Carolina General Statute § 14-33(c)(1) as a Class A1 misdemeanor, carrying up to 150 days in jail, according to the Patrick Roberts Law Blog. Notably, North Carolina common law does not require actual physical contact to sustain the charge; an intentional show of force that creates reasonable fear of immediate injury can be enough.
The property damage charge also carries weight depending on the dollar amount involved. Under North Carolina General Statute § 14-160, willfully injuring personal property is a Class 1 misdemeanor punishable by up to 120 days in jail if the damage exceeds $200, but it drops to a lesser Class 2 misdemeanor if the damage is $200 or less, according to the Powers Law Firm. It is not yet clear how much damage was done to the woman's car windows.
What Prosecutors Must Prove on the Threats Charge
The communicating threats charge, covered under North Carolina General Statute § 14-277.1, requires prosecutors to establish three listed elements, including that the threat was believable and caused fear, per Morris & Fox Attorneys at Law. In North Carolina, verbal statements alone can be enough to support the charge if a victim's fear is deemed credible. The resisting-a-public-officer charge, meanwhile, is a Class 2 misdemeanor carrying up to 60 days in jail under North Carolina General Statute § 14-223, which requires prosecutors to show the suspect knew or had reasonable grounds to know the person giving commands was an active officer.
New Chief, Same County Jail Backdrop
The case was handled by the Greenville Police Department, which recently came under new leadership. Kolenya “K.Z.” Thomas was named the next Chief of Police and is scheduled to assume the role on September 1, 2026, becoming the first woman and first African American woman to lead the agency in its history after more than 20 years with the department, including a stint as deputy chief. The agency is the Greenville Police Department.
Condery was booked at the Pitt County Jail.
The case adds to a string of public safety incidents Hoodline has tracked in the Greenville area this summer, including a home shooting tied to a Raleigh duo. Greenville, the 12th most populous city in North Carolina with more than 92,800 residents, is the city at issue in this report. Demographic data sources include Cubit Planning and USAFacts. It remains unclear from the warrants what sparked the original fight between the two women.
