NEWS
An Upper Perk police officer was justified in âthe use of deadly forceâ when a Pennsburg man charged at him while brandishing a sword, Montgomery Countyâs top law enforcement official has ruled in the investigation of the fatal officer-involved shooting. District Attorney Kevin R. Steele announced on Monday that the county detective bureauâs independent investigation concluded that the Feb. 9 fatal shooting by Upper Perk police of Trey Bartholomew, 27, of Valley Court in Pennsburg, was a lawful use of force. The investigation found that Bartholomew threatened police with a 23-inch sword during an encounter in Long Alley.
The teenagers were spotted leaving the business by 56-year-old owner Ying Ngov, police said.
When she confronted them about the alleged theft, she was shoved into a pile of snow, as seen in surveillance video from the incident. When Ngov got up and approached the suspects again, she was pummeled until another man tried to restrain one of the suspects.
Ngov, a Chinese immigrant, told 6ABC last week that she was struggling to eat because of the injuries she suffered.
This is 56 year old Ying Ngov. She owns a pizzeria in Norristown. Last Friday suspects came to her store and stole beers. She ran after to get the beers back. The grown men push her to the ground and beat her. The security video is after the interview. More @ 11 @6abcpic.twitter.com/7zDrOqLmar Bob Brooks (@BobBrooks6abc) February 25, 2021
