Three members of one Hillsborough family were charged with aggravated assault on a police patrolman following a fracas Monday on Mountain View Road.
Arrested were Kevin Teeple (age 35), George Teeple (67) and Danielle Teeple (30), all of Mountain View Road.
At about 10:57 a.m., Hillsborough Police Cpl. Brian McCarron stopped a Ford pickup truck on Mountain View Road. The driver, Kevin Teeple, got out of the truck and started to walk towards his residence. He ignored Cpt. McCarron’s orders to return to the truck and provide his credentials, and went into the house, police said.
At this point, passenger George Teeple got out of the truck and confronted Cpl. McCarron, police said.
Cpl. McCarron told him to get back in the vehicle, but Mr. Teeple ignored him, police said. After being told he was being placed under arrest, Mr. Teeple resisted being handcuffed and started to wrestle with Cpl. McCarron, police said.
Kevin and Danielle Teeple came out of the house and confronted Patrolman Jason Beverett, who arrived to back up Cpl. McCarron. Police said Ms. Teeple struck Patrolman Beverett in the face with a closed fist, and both defendants continued assaulting Patrolman Beverett by punching and wrestling with him, police said.
Patrolman Christopher Engelhardt responded with his K-9 and all three Teeples were taken into custody. After being placed in the rear seat of the patrol vehicle, Ms. Teeple kicked out the left rear window and tried to climb out of the vehicle before being secured.
Cpl. McCarron and Ptlm. Beverett sustained back and neck injuries and were transported to Somerset Medical Center for medical treatment. All three defendants were charged with aggravated assault, 3rd degree, and obstruction of justice, a disorderly person offense. Defendant George Teeple was also charged with resisting arrest, 3rd degree, and defendant Danielle Teeple was also charged with criminal mischief, 4th degree, and attempted escape, 3rd degree.
Bail for each defendant was set by Superior Court Judge Paul W. Armstrong at $15,000 with the ability to put up 10 percent in cash.
