A central New Jersey police officer is recovering after suffering serious injuries when he was dragged by a motor vehicle. The incident occurred at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday on Commercial Avenue near Rutgers University's Douglass Campus. The officer had an encounter with 24-year-old Donell Cook, who was in a vehicle. Cook drove away, dragging the officer approximately 50 feet until he hit a parked vehicle. Cook then allegedly attempted to disarm the officer, who was able to fight him off.
Cook was then apprehended by New Brunswick and Rutgers University police.

Mayor Michael Nutter and other top local Democrats are gearing up for next weekâ€™s visit of the committee that will choose a site for the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Mayor Nutter and other Democrats gathered across from the Liberty Bell to drum up attention to next weekâ€™s visit. Philadelphia is one of five cities vying to host the 2016 DNC, and nearly 20 members of the site committee will be here next Wednesday and Thursday. Joining Nutter was former Governor Ed Rendell.

Bensalem Police say a woman fabricated a story that she was assaulted last week at Struble Elementary playground. Sheâ€™s charged with making false reports to police and related offenses. Police also said the reported assault did not occur. According to police, detectives were unable to corroborate much of the information the woman originally reported, and subsequently got a confession from her.
