Trashed Restaurant, Assaulted Employees
OCEAN CITY- A Virginia woman was arrested last weekend after allegedly assaulting employees at a Boardwalk restaurant, throwing plates of food on the floor and destroying property.
Around 11 p.m. last Friday, an Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) bicycle officer patrolling the Boardwalk responded to a reported disorderly individual at a restaurant at 7th Street. Ocean City Communications advised a female patron had assaulted four employees and that she had also thrown food and glasses. Ocean City Communications advised the 911 caller was still following the suspect as she walked north along Baltimore Avenue with male individual.
OCPD officers stopped the female suspect, later identified as Marion Pajibo, 22, of Aldie, Virginia, along with her male companion, at Baltimore Avenue and 1st Street. By then, the restaurant manager caught up and told police Pajibo was the suspect who had caused the disturbance at the restaurant.
The manager told police Pajibo was intoxicated and had been throwing menus over her shoulder. When the manager asked Pajibo to stop her childish actions and if she didn’t, she would be asked to leave. According to police reports, when Pajibo continued to throw menus, she and her companion were asked to leave. At that point, Pajibo began acting violently and destroying objects inside the restaurant.
At one point, Pajibo picked up a plate of nachos from another table and threw them into the air, according to police reports. When the bouncers and other staff began to physically remove Pajibo from the restaurant, she began thrashing wildly and purposely grabbed, smashed and threw things as she was slowly removed. All in all, Pajibo allegedly destroyed six glasses and a bar stool with a total value of around $200.
OCPD officers watched the restaurant’s surveillance videos, which corroborated the manager’s story, according to police reports. OCPD officers then interviewed employees who told police they were assaulted during the attempt to get Pajibo to leave the bar. One employee told police he observed Pajibo assault a bus boy and when he intervened, Pajibo bit his arm. Another employee told police Pajibo had punched him in the head near his temple during the incident. Pajibo was charged with multiple counts of assault, malicious destruction of property and disorderly conduct.

Officers Assaulted by Intoxicated Female
OCEAN CITY- A Dundalk woman was arrested on assault and intoxicated endangerment charges last weekend after first allegedly passing out in an uptown street and then scrapping with police officers trying to help her.
Around 12:30 a.m. last Sunday, Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) officers were dispatched to the area of 116th Street for a reported unidentified female passed out in the bus lane along southbound Coastal Highway. OCPD officers met with the doorman of a nearby bar who told police patrons and advised him of the situation. The doorman said when he went to check on the female, later identified as Nickole Frazier, 48, of Dundalk, she became verbally aggressive with him and stumbled down Jamestown Road.
OCPD officers searched the area around Jamestown Rd. and found Frazier between parked cars about 100 yards from Coastal Highway. When Frazier saw police officers, she asked what they wanted and they told her they only wanted to help her get home, according to police reports. Frazier had quick and confused speech along with jerky body movements, according to police reports. After asking her several times what her name was, Frazier reportedly told police he name was Deedy Nasty Nicky. She then pulled up the tank top she was wearing and exposed her breasts to the officers.
According to police reports, Frazier continued to be uncooperative and refused to tell the officers where she was staying or how they could help her. At that point, Frazier was released, but OCPD officers followed behind at a close distance to make sure she didn’t harm herself or damage any property.
At one point, Frazier stumbled and fell into a parked vehicle and then onto the ground. She regained her footing and stumbled across Jamestown Rd. where she swung her purse over her head and smashed it into the hood of a truck, according to police reports. At that point, she was taken into custody.
When OCPD officers attempted to get Frazier into the transport vehicle for transportation to the Public Safety Building, she resisted and had to be physically carried into the van. Once in the van, she repeatedly kicked the officers trying to secure her for transport. Once at the Public Safety Building, it took five booking officers to carry her to her cell because of her lack of cooperation and combativeness, according to police reports. She was ultimately charged with intoxicated endangerment and assault along with other counts.
