Villas Man Charged with Assault After Alleged Strangulation
Crime | 12 weeks 5 days ago | Comments 11
ERMA -- On Aug. 18 about 5:33 p.m., a victim went to Lower Township Police Department and spoke with an officer, and told him her boyfriend and she were at his aunt’s house near Holmes Avenue, North Cape May when a verbal argument turned into an assault.
She alleged that her boyfriend struck her in the face causing bruising to her eyes and nose. He then attempted to strangle her, according to police, and did cut off her air supply shortly.
Officers observed red marks on her neck, which corroborated her story about being strangled.
The boyfriend was identified as Joseph Pierce, 24, of the first block, East New York Avenue, Villas.
The victim applied for, and was granted a temporary restraining order.
Detectives responded to headquarters to interview the victim, and to photograph her injuries prior to her departure.
Municipal Court Judge David DeWeese issued a warrant for Pierce’s arrest for aggravated assault with bail set at $25,000 and no contact with the victim.
Pierce was located in Wildwood and placed under arrest for aggravated assault by Wildwood Police Department.
The suspect was transferred to county jail in lieu of bail.

Wow you people really are *** in this state. I can't bellieve you turned a domestic case into a grammar war. Here's some grammar for all of you GROW UP!!!!

Maybe we should let the Lower Township Taxpayers Association have their say with regards to the grammar and spelling corrections. It seems they want to complain about everything else; taxes, outfall pipes, Ponder Lodge, etc, etc , etc.......Maybe they should direct all that energy into something constructive......like a scientific study and chemical analysis of the effects of salt water intrusion into the well water and the harsh reality that it has effected
everyones minds who live on the West Side of Bayshore Road near the bay.

To 08/22/2008 - 7:42am - Is pompous jerk capitalized? Really, I understand the frustration of police officers (by the way, common nouns, when used as such, are not capitalized), but when you come on here to attack lame remarks, you come off as either bullies or pouting babies. You give credence to *** and make yourselves look petty. JMHO.

Also, a comma is needed after the second "Oh," and there should also be a question mark after ......"were they sleeping when the detectives were called out?" As you can see it takes several people to proofread the slop you've written!

One more thing, I copied from the other person's posting .... my mistake .... the correct spelling is GRAMMAR.... not GRAMMER. I realized it only after I had posted it. Thanks.

To the person who criticized the grammer in the article, you are wrong on one account. You referenced "was there any patrolman involved" .... said it should be Patrolmen .... incorrect .... in order for it to be Patrolmen, the verb "was" would need to be "were" .... and should read "were there any Patrolmen involved"... In other words, you would say "The Patrolman WAS" and "The Patrolmen WERE". Maybe you need to review your writing skills.

8/22@12:51- the article clearly states that "officers observed red marks on her neck, which corroborated her story about being strangled." Good job officers!!

Are you sure it was JOSEPH Pierce?? And you released his name, why not hers, the person who is alleging this happened?

1) God is capitalized
2) Detectives and Patrolmen are capitalized
3) Grammer "was there any patrolman involved? patrolman should be Patrolmen when used in the plural
4) Only one ( ! ) explanation point is used at the end of a sentence
5) And referring to your first sentence; "detectives were there to guide everyone!"
Let's hope the Detectives (notice that it is capitalized, Thank You) are there next time you write in a blog so they can guide you with your spelling, sentence structure and overall writing skills.

Oh my god, thank god the detectives were there to guide everyone ! Why not make them all detectives and then there could be some trust. Oh was there any patrolman involved or were they sleeping when the DETECTIVES were called out. Good job detectives !!
