The officers who were involved in the violent arrest of Philadelphia woman caught on tape on a Wildwood beach over Memorial Day weekend will not face criminal charges. Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey Sutherland said that his office reviewed both the Wildwood police body-cam footage and footage shot by a beachgoer. They also reviewed statements from witnesses. He said in a statement, "As County Prosecutor, I recognize that the video footage has raised a lot of questions regarding the officers' actions. A decision such as this is not based on emotion; it is based upon applying the proper laws, policies and directives that govern law enforcement." The Wildwood Police Department's Internal Affairs Unit is conducting their own investigation.
