Assault
On Dec. 31, 2015, at approximately 8:05 p.m., Medford Township Police were dispatched to the Burger King on SH70 for a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, patrols observed a male subject enter a silver Audi outside of the business which fit the description provided by the caller as a vehicle involved in the disturbance.
The male subject refused to provide identification and also refused to provide his name to officers. He continued to be disorderly, shouting profanities at the general public and towards the police in a loud and aggressive manner.
While speaking with him, a female came across the parking lot towards police. She was also shouting obscenities at him and towards the police. Both subjects were determined to be under the influence of alcohol. The situation continued to escalate and it became necessary for patrols to place the subjects into custody.
While attempting to place the female into custody, she became violent and started to fight with police and resisted arrest.
She was eventually taken into custody, but in the process she assaulted both officers involved in the arrest causing minor injuries to each officer. The male subject was also resisting, but was placed into custody without incident or injury to himself or the officers involved.
Both subjects were transported to the Medford Township Public Safety Building for processing.
The female was charged with assault on police, resisting arrest, obstruction of justice, and disorderly conduct and lodged in BCJ in default of
$12,500 full bail.
The male was charged with disorderly conduct, obstruction of justice, and
resisting arrest on a summons complaint and released.
