For Immediate Release:  April 15, 2018

On April 14, 2018, two women were arrested after leaving the scene of a traffic collision and then assaulting and crashing the car of the other driver.

At 1:44 pm, patrol officers responded to Rhode Island and Atlantic Avenues for a report of a traffic collision and the occupants involved in a physical altercation.

Officer Valmir Loga arrived to find that a vehicle, operated by Veda Nolasco and passenger Tiffany Williams, had fled the scene before his arrival.  Officer Loga learned that there was a collision at Rhode Island and Pacific Avenues involving the suspect vehicle and a second vehicle being driven by the victim, a 35 year old male from Atlantic City.  The victim also had his one year old child in the vehicle.

After striking the victim’s vehicle, Nolasco sped off.  The victim followed and called 911.  At Atlantic Avenue, Nolasco and Williams exited their vehicle and began to physically assault the victim, pulling him from his vehicle.  Both females continued to assault the victim as he was on the ground.  Nolasco then entered the victim’s vehicle and deliberately crashed it into a telephone pole.  Both females got back in their vehicle and fled.

Officer Loga was able to obtain information for the suspect vehicle and broadcast it to officers in the area.  The vehicle was located by Officers Christian Ivanov and Daniel Arra on the beach block of New Jersey Avenue.  A short time later, Showboat Atlantic City security personnel located Nolasco and Williams inside their property.  They were detained until officers arrived to take them into custody. 

The victim and his child were evaluated on scene by medical personnel and released.
