A 21-year-old woman faces a child-related charge after she allegedly drove toward two people before crashing into a North Charleston church with her young child in the vehicle.

Aliyah Symone Reese is charged with unlawful conduct toward a child in connection with the Oct. 27 crash at Grace City Church on Cosgrove Avenue, according to Live 5 News. Her arrest is also listed in the North Charleston Police Department's CRIMEWATCH arrest listing, under reference number 2026027754.

North Charleston police responded to the church shortly before noon after receiving a report that a vehicle had struck the building. Officers found Reese standing near a car with significant front-end damage. Her young child was also at the scene, and both reportedly appeared extremely distraught, according to the police report, as described by Live 5 News.

Reese's account to police

According to the police report cited by Live 5, Reese told officers she had encountered her child's father and his new girlfriend at a nearby convenience store. She said the woman spit on her and that both people attacked her.

Reese told officers she left the altercation but lost control of her vehicle and crashed into the church wall.

What surveillance footage showed

The police report described surveillance footage from the convenience store and the church that appeared to contradict Reese's account, according to Live 5 News.

The footage reportedly showed what appeared to be a mutual physical altercation between Reese and the other woman outside the store. After the fight, the woman and the child's father walked toward the church.

An officer who reviewed the footage reported that Reese then got into her vehicle, drove around the corner and appeared to drive toward the two people in an attempt to hit them. The vehicle missed both people and continued into the church.

Child taken to hospital

Charleston County EMS evaluated Reese's child at the scene after the crash. Relatives then took the child to a hospital for further medical treatment, according to the police report cited by Live 5. WCBD News 2 also reported that EMS evaluated the child.

Reese turned herself in

Reese turned herself in at North Charleston City Hall on Tuesday, Nov. 3, where she was served with an arrest warrant charging her with unlawful conduct toward a child.

Under South Carolina Code Section 63-5-70, unlawful conduct toward a child includes placing a child at unreasonable risk of harm affecting the child's life, physical or mental health, or safety. The offense is a felony punishable upon conviction by a fine, imprisonment of up to 10 years, or both.

The charge is an allegation, and Reese is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
