BALLOON FEST ARREST
On Saturday, July 26, 2014, a man attending the Quick Check New jersey Festival of Ballooning at the Solberg Airport in Readington Township, NJ was arrested.
At about 4:30 pm Lt. Scott Crater was on foot patrol at the festival when he became aware of a disturbance involving a male and a female. The officer attempted to intervine but the 48 year old male from Warren County, NJ was uncooperative and refused to follow the officer's orders. The officer arrested the male for Obstructing the Administration of Law. The officer learned that just prior to his interaction with the couple they had been arguing and the male had punched the adult female in her face causing a visible injury; the female was the male's girlfriend and an employee at the festival.
The male was charged with domestic violence assault and Obstructing the Administration of Law. The male was later released on his own recognizance.
