Conley later told police she lost consciousness, charging documents state.
The charging documents do not state when Conley regained consciousness. Thompson moved Conley to his car, where he told her to stay while he went back to the reception to gather her purse and phone, documents state.
Thompson then took Conley to York Hospital, where she was treated for her injuries. Conley suffered a large contusion to her left cheekbone, swollen and scraped forearms, and a scrape to her left knee, charging documents state.
