A Philadelphia woman is facing several charges after police said she had attacked a 10-year-old boy, his father in a Wildwood Crest motel pool and then bit an officer during arrest.
According to the Wildwood Crest Police Department, on Monday officers responded to a reported fight in progress at a motel in the 6200 block of Ocean Ave.
Upon arrival, police said officers were told by a witness that a "highly intoxicated woman" - later identified as 43-year-old Fallan Turner - was acting "out of control" in the motel pool.
Police said officers learned that Turner had grabbed an unrelated 10-year-old boy and swung him around in the pool, dunking him underwater. The boy's father attempted to stop her but then Turner jumped on his back and grabbed him inappropriately.
