City police and state troopers broke up the party on Monmouth Street and Walnut Avenue at around 11 p.m. Saturday and arrested one person for disorderly conduct, State Police Sgt. Brian Polite said Sunday.
City police arrested ten people on charges from failure to disperse to obstructing the administration of law, Lt. Mark Kieffer said today. Trenton officers who initially tried to disperse the party were pelted with rocks, bricks and bottles before calling for backup.
Polite said the response included personnel stationed in the city as part of the agency’s Targeted Integrated Deployment Effort, which has sent uniformed and plainclothes troopers into the city’s most most violent areas. Troopers based in Hamilton were also called into assist along with a Ewing police unit.
