<p>WILKES-BARRE &#8212; A warrant has been issued for a Wilkes-Barre woman who failed to appear at her sentencing after she pleaded guilty last month to violently shoving a 12-year-old girl.</p><p>Marlenea Uravage, 30, <a href="https://www.timesleader.com/news/678526/woman-pleads-guilty-to-violently-shoving-12-year-old-girl" target="_blank">pleaded guilty to simple assault</a> Oct. 11, admitting she shoved Presley Keeney to the ground May 28 outside of a convenience store in Wilkes-Barre.</p><p>Luzerne County Judge David Lupas had scheduled her sentencing for Friday.</p><p>But Uravage, whom court records show had been out on bail since Aug. 2, never showed up, so Lupas issued a warrant for her.</p><p>However, the mother of the young victim said she saw Uravage when she was going to the Luzerne County Courthouse for the sentencing.</p><p>Chere Fuller, Keeney&#8217;s mother, said she and Keeney saw Uravage walking on Water Street, adding she walked right past them.</p><p>&#8220;She has no remorse; she&#8217;s a monster,&#8221; said Fuller. &#8220;I just want it done and over with already.&#8221;</p><p>Police say Uravage shoved<a href="https://www.timesleader.com/news/local/660973/police-woman-struck-juvenile-in-the-face" target="_blank"> Keeney </a>outside the Quick Stop, across Route 309 from Home Depot, when a man reportedly approached the girl and asked for something to eat from her bag of snacks.</p><p>Surveillance video from outside the store shows Uravage walking over to the man and Keeney. She shoved the man away, then turned quickly and shoved the girl, police say.</p><p>Keeney, who Fuller said weighs only about 80 pounds, was shoved so hard, her head almost struck the store&#8217;s door as she flew backward, police said.</p><p>Uravage was captured on camera running from the scene.</p><p>Uravage&#8217;s failure to appear Friday is not the first time she&#8217;s fled from law enforcement. She was arrested in Nanticoke with the assistance of U.S. Marshals more than two weeks after the May 28 incident.</p><style>
