VILLANOVA, Pa. -- A Villanova woman has been arrested after police said she beat up her nanny and housekeeper inside her Main Line home.

According to court documents, the suspect, Susan Tabas Tepper, attacked her nanny, Xiomara Salinas, and then told her not to call police. The documents say Tepper told the Salinas, "I'm important. You're nothing. No one will believe you."

Lower Merion police said the incident happened inside a house on Eagle Farm Road in Villanova.

Police said that early Sunday morning Tepper started yelling at Salinas about food that had been left in the refrigerator and then Tepper threw the food on the kitchen floor.

Court documents said, "As Salinas was cleaning up the floor, Tepper picked up a bag of carrots and threw it at Salinas, striking her in the chest."

Police said the fight escalated when Tepper criticized Salinas for not speaking English well and then threw Salinas into the refrigerator. The criminal complaint went on to say: "Tepper continued the attack on Salinas by pulling her hair, scratching her face, pulling her eyeglasses off of her face and then breaking her glasses."

Lower Merion police said Tepper also stole $800 from Salinas.

Tepper has been charged with robbery, theft and simple assault.

Tepper is out of jail, awaiting her next court date.
