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.

Turner was charged with endangering the welfare of children, aggravated assault on law enforcement, resisting arrest with force, criminal sexual contact, failure to allow fingerprinting, harassment and disorderly conduct.
