Avalon Police have charged a 27 year old Middle Township man with Obstruction of Justice as they continue to investigate an assault that occurred in the Borough during the recent Memorial Day weekend.
Avalon Police Chief David Dean announced that Ryan J. Davies of Cape May Court House has been charged with Obstruction of Justice stemming from an aggravated assault that took place in Avalon on Friday, May 28th near the intersection of Ocean Drive and 21st Street. The male victim of the assault suffered a significant eye injury from broken glass and is expected to have several additional surgeries in an effort to regain his eyesight.
Police allege that Mr. Davies provided false and misleading information to Avalon Police in an effort to hinder the investigation. The investigation into the assault is still active. Police ask any witnesses who may have information to come forward. Additional arrests may be forthcoming.
