A Philadelphia woman has settled a federal civil lawsuit against the city of Wildwood after a violent beach arrest on Memorial Day weekend in 2018. Emily Weinman of Kensington will receive $325,000. The Atlantic County Municipal Joint Insurance Fund, which represented the city, approved the settlement. The incident happened on Saturday, May 26, 2018, on the beach in Wildwood. Two Class II seasonal officers stopped at Weinman's beach blanket to investigate underage drinking. During the investigation, she refused to give her last name multiple times. Police body cam footage shows her walk away from the scene and officers follow. After she reportedly hit the officer and spat at them, they put her on the ground and struggled while handcuffing her. A nearby beachgoer filmed the final part of the incident that showed officers striking Weinman in the process of the arrest. That video went viral. Weinman was charged with two counts of aggravated assault of a police officer, resisting arrest, throwing bodily fluids and obstruction. She eventually pled guilty to disorderly conduct and was barred from Wildwood for a year. The lawsuit, filed in October 2019, claimed the officers "brutally and senselessly assaulted her... as her 18-month-old daughter looked on." The officers were not charged.

The National Weather Service has determined that an EF0 tornado touched down in Montgomeryville, Montgomery County on Monday afternoon, 11/30, causing damage to homes and businesses. It happened at 3:47 p.m. near the area of Rt. 309 and Rt. 202. The tornado reached maximum winds of 70 mph. It had a maximum width of 100 yards and was on the ground for .5 miles. A total of 16 homes were damaged and 5 businesses. The tornado knocked down trees, tore off siding and roofing, bent street poles, threw an HVAC unit from a roof, and even pushed cars around a parking lot. No one was injured. The Red Cross is assisting displaced residents.
A Montgomery County man has been charged with the murder of his 10-month-old infant daughter. 29-year-old Austin Stevens was previously charged with involuntary deviant sexual intercourse, aggravated assault, and other charges in the death of Zara Scruggs. It happened on Saturday night, 10/3, on the 3400 block of Germantown Pike in Lower Providence Township. Police responded to a call around 10:40 p.m. The unresponsive infant girl was transported to Einstein Medical Center in Montgomery County. She died shortly after midnight. She had been wearing a blood-soaked diaper and an autopsy revealed she was the victim of a sexual assault and blunt force trauma to the head. A search warrant of Stevens' phone revealed Google searches for "how do you know if a baby is dead," "if baby stops breathing," "what if you don't hear baby heart or beat," and "my baby isn't breathing." Those web searches were made nearly an hour before he called 911. He had also had conversations with two women over social media and text during that time, not in relation to the baby. Stevens was being held at Montgomery County Correctional Facility on $1 million bail awaiting a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, 12/1.
