‘Out of control’ woman allegedly attacks 10-year-old boy, bites police officer in New Jersey motel pool

Witnesses at the scene described the woman as “highly intoxicated”.

A day at the pool took a dark turn after an intoxicated woman allegedly attacked a 10-year-old boy and bit a police officer who was arresting her, authorities said.

The woman, identified as Philadelphia resident Fallan Turner, attacked the child at a motel in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey, on the afternoon of June 17, according to a Press release from the Wildwood Crest Police Department.

Officers responded to the motel – which is in Philadelphia 6ABC identified as Waikiki Oceanfront Inn – after witnesses reported that Turner, 43, was involved in a fight with a child at the pool.

Witnesses at the scene described her as “highly intoxicated” and “out of control,” authorities said. Another witness reportedly told police that Turner had been drinking tequila all day, 6 ABC reported.

In his intoxicated state, Turner allegedly “grabbed an unrelated 10-year-old male and spun him around in the pool, dunking him into the water,” police said. And after the 10-year-old boy’s father tried to intervene, Turner allegedly “jumped on his back and grabbed him inappropriately.”

After officers attempted to speak with Turner, police said she “became belligerent” and was placed under arrest, which she resisted.

According to police, she “shoved the arresting officer in the face while resisting his control” and continued to be “highly uncooperative and combative” during processing, even biting an officer’s hand.

No officers were injured during the altercation, however, police said.

“When she was told that people didn’t want her involved, she got upset,” Wildwood Crest Police Chief Robert Lloyd told 6 ABC, adding that “she became extremely unruly and did some very inappropriate things.”

Lloyd also told the outlet that Wildwood Crest is usually a family-friendly place, but the department has seen more cases like Turner’s since the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s unfortunate,” he said. “Not only are you ruining your own vacation when you have contacts with the police, but you are also ruining the vacations of other people who are just trying to have a good time.”

The Waikiki Oceanfront Inn did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Police said Turner was charged with third-degree endangering the welfare of children, two counts of third-degree aggravated assault on law enforcement officers, third-degree resisting arrest with force, fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, two counts of harassment, disorderly conduct and failure to allow fingerprinting.

Arrest records seen by PEOPLE show she also refused to allow her blood to be drawn for the police DNA database.

Turner is currently being held at the Cape May County Correctional Facility. It is unclear whether she has legal representation to comment on her behalf.
