Jersey Shore Brawl: Officers Injured, PA Men Arrested
2 Aug
Summary
- Two police officers were injured during a late-night altercation.
- Two Pennsylvania men, aged 31 and 60, were arrested.
- The men face charges including aggravated assault and resisting arrest.
On July 25, a physical altercation unfolded in Sea Isle City, leading to the injury of two police officers and the arrest of two Pennsylvania men. The incident began around 11 p.m. when Patrick McStravog, 31, from Audubon, Pennsylvania, initiated a fight with others inside a store.
During the melee, McStravog sustained minor injuries. While Sea Isle City EMS attended to him, his family member, Robert McMonagle, 60, from Norristown, Pennsylvania, attempted to bypass an officer to reach those involved in the initial fight. This interference resulted in McMonagle striking an officer and being placed under arrest.
As McMonagle was being taken into custody, McStravog broke away from EMS personnel and assaulted a second officer. Both McMonagle and McStravog resisted arrest, requiring the use of physical force by the officers. One injured officer was transported to a local hospital.
McMonagle and McStravog now face numerous charges, including aggravated assault and resisting arrest. Both individuals were subsequently taken to the Cape May County Correctional Facility. The accusations against them are considered preliminary at this stage.
