A fight at Atlantic City High School involving a group of students and a teacher led to an altercation between the teenagers’ guardians at police headquarters Wednesday. Monique Spellman, 42, Tanika Joyce, 45, and Brandi Braxton, 31, all of whom are city residents, were each charged with disorderly conduct after being involved in a fight at the Clayton G. Graham Public Safety Building. Separately, three girls, 14, 15 and 16, were each charged with aggravated assault from a fight at the high school earlier that day.

The judge similarly declined to dismiss a liability claim against the city.
She said Capps’ suit “sufficiently alleged that Farabella either knew or should have known that Dixon received use of force complaints at a rate far higher than other officers in the department, and that whatever measures he took to correct this issue was insufficient.”
Bumb also declined to dismiss a charge alleging excessive force by a second Millville officer, Bryan Orndorf, who took part in Capps’ arrest.
Her ruling noted officers found to use excessive force during an arrest may also be liable for assault and battery.
Louis C. Shapiro, a Vineland attorney for both women, declined to comment.
