Officer Dill In A Pickle, Suffers Window Pain
What's new in Jersey Mayhem? Oh, "Police: Keansburg woman threw storm door window pane at officer." That's interesting. The Asbury Park Press reports that, while resisting arrest on an outstanding warrant, 42-year-old Valerie L. Wiggs attacked Keansburg police officer Tiffanie Dill. First with a bag of groceries, then: "Wiggs bolted from the officer, then removed the window pane from her door and threw it at Dill's face, but the officer managed to turn and the window hit her in the back, police said." Wiggs locked herself inside her apartment until more police arrived and kicked down her door. The she was arrested and charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes (the grocery bag?), unlawful possession of a weapon (the storm window?), obstruction and disorderly conduct. Officer Dill declined medical attention.
". . .but the officer managed to turn AND CATCH IT AND THROW IT AT HER AS SHE RAN AWAY and the window hit her in the back," right? (Not that she didn't have it coming.) FTW Doh! Pain.
I mean, Keansburg.
the bestest keansburg crime story ever is when a lady with an old grenade threatened to pull the pin if her deaf-blind pit bull wasn't returned to her. turns out her neighbor had power of attorney and had had the dog put down.
there was a stand-off for a couple hours until the police chief offered her $50 to give him the grenade. she said, "make it $100."
i loved covering that town.
Wow. That is an excellent story. Props for covering Keansburg.
I have been to Keansburg, this is not surprising.
