Utah woman charged with causing a catastrophe after taking daughter egging

Ogden • An Ogden mother has been charged on accusations she drove around town with her daughter and other children throwing eggs at homes and cars.

The Standard-Examiner newspaper in Ogden reports that investigators say the 44-year-old woman and the girls threw eggs at as many as 20 homes in the Ogden area. The vandalism occurred on Aug. 20.

Prosecutors say it caused an estimated $2,350 in damage to one house's stucco and $3,000 in damage to a car's ignition.

The woman is charged with one class A misdemeanor count of causing a catastrophe.

The AP sought comment on the charges from the woman, but could not verify whether he had a listed telephone number or an attorney.

Prosecutors say the woman told police she did it due to family issues and because she didn't care.
