Case # 26-21700

On Saturday May 23, 2026 at approximately 08:43 AM, MTPD was dispatched to Laurelton Village Apartments, located at 601 N. Black Horse Pike, for a fight in progress between two men and one allegedly threatening to retrieve a weapon. Officers arrived on scene and attempted to diffuse the situation but were met with hostility. Toyeon Murry-Ross, a 31 year-old- male from Williamstown, was arrested. During the arrest, Ross continued to act irate and hostile. Ross attempted to spit on Sgt. Mike Prus and then on Ofc. Anthony Tomasello, hitting Ofc. Tomasello in the shoulder.

Ross was charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault on Law Enforcement (Throwing Bodily Fluids), Disorderly Conduct, and Obstructing the Administration of Law. Ross was later remanded to Salem County Jail on Complaint-Warrant 0811-W-2026-000467.

Our officers come to work each day to serve and protect the community, often under challenging circumstances. Spitting on an officer is a deliberate act of aggression that is unacceptable and will be addressed accordingly under the law.

All person(s) are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
