Woman charged with attacking 10-year-old boy in motel pool, biting officer in Wildwood Crest
WILDWOOD CREST, NJ - A 43-year-old woman is facing charges after police say she acted out at a motel pool in Wildwood Crest Monday.
On Monday at around 2:30 p.m., officers responded to a reported fight in progress at a motel in the 6200 block of Ocean Avenue.
Upon arrival, witnesses reported that a highly intoxicated woman, later identified as Fallan Turner, was acting "out of control" while in the pool.
After investigating, officers learned that Turner grabbed a 10-year-old boy, and swung him around in the pool, dunking him underwater.
As the boy’s father attempted to intervene, they say she jumped on his back and grabbed him inappropriately.
While officers were speaking with Turner, they say she became belligerent, prompting an arrest.
