OCEAN CITY, New Jersey (WPVI) — Thousands of people decided to lounge on the beaches of Ocean City, New Jersey to celebrate Labor Day.
Many said it was their last reprieve before heading back to work or school.
“We came here because it’s a beautiful day. School is about to start so it’s our last beach day,” said beachgoer Paige Hagood.
Surfers took to the waves while kids played in the sand amid the gorgeous weather.
On the boardwalk, business was booming. Some people said their farewell to Gillian’s Wonderland Pier, a 94-year-old landmark that’s closing its doors for good this season.
“Sad, but happy we’re here today. Excited we’re here. Excited she gets to experience it,” said Amelia Marks, who took her family to the beloved staple.
The pier closes permanently on October 13.

Six players on the Carolina Panthers’ roster were assigned new jersey numbers on Monday.
Rookie tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders switches from No. 85 to No. 0 and recently acquired corner Michael Jackson will sport No. 2, while a handful of newcomers settled on a number – CB Keenan Isaac (No. 12), CB Shemar Bartholomew (No. 27), CB Tariq Castro-Fields (No. 29), and OL Jarrett Kingston (No. 61).
Sanders finally gets to rep the number he’s wanted all along. GM Dan Morgan and head coach Dave Canales know how coveted single digit numbers are and wanted the rookie to earn it and he did exactly that with a phenomenal training camp and preseason.
“I feel like every rookie got to earn their number,” Sanders said back in the spring. “I knew I wasn’t going to have zero coming in, so I’ve already had that mindset knowing what I got to do to come in and put the work in day in, day out to earn that number.
“I told everybody I’m trying to be the next Greg Olsen here. He was one of the tight ends to change the game back in the day and him doing what he did here…I feel like they seen what they did in me. I’m trying to be the next Greg Olsen. I’m trying to be the new face of the offense for sure.”

New Jersey woman arrested, jailed over mistaken identity cannot sue due to qualified immunity, court rules

A New Jersey woman who was arrested and spent two weeks behind bars over a mistaken identity cannot sue the U.S. marshals who arrested her because they are protected by qualified immunity, a court ruled.
Judith Maureen Henry was booked into the Essex County Correctional Facility in Newark in 2019 after the marshals detained her, mistakenly believing she was another woman with the same name who pleaded guilty to drug possession and skipped her parole in Pennsylvania in 1993.
Henry sought to sue the marshals over the mistake, but a three-judge appellate panel ruled Thursday that the marshals acted on a “constitutionally valid” warrant and were protected by qualified immunity, which shields law enforcement from liability for wrongdoing.
“Their arrest of Henry relying on information attached to the warrant was a reasonable mistake, and therefore her arrest did not violate the Fourth Amendment,” Judge Thomas Ambro of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in the ruling, according to the New Jersey Monitor.

Henry repeatedly told marshals during her 2019 arrest that she was not the person they were after and asked them to compare her fingerprints to those of the actual offender. But nobody compared the fingerprints until 10 days after her arrest, when she was transferred to Pennsylvania, and she remained locked up for another few days before she was finally released.
“Henry’s complaint — that the Marshals failed to take her claims of innocence seriously — raises a host of policy questions about the role of the Marshals Service after they apprehend a suspect on a warrant for a crime they did not investigate,” Ambro wrote.
The judge said those questions include how strong a claim of innocence must be before a marshal investigates, who should investigate and how thorough an investigation should be conducted. He said a reasonable observer could conclude the answers to these questions would be easy to find and would impose “minimal burdens” on the marshals.

But, Ambro wrote, those policy questions should be up to lawmakers to address.
He also noted that the marshals were not involved in Henry’s continued detention.
The court also rejected allegations from Henry, who is black and from Jamaica, that she faced this treatment due to her race, sex, national origin and lower economic status.
“We need not accept this bare conclusion, and she offers no other allegations to support it,” Ambro wrote.

A district judge had refused the marshals’ request to dismiss Henry’s lawsuit against them, but Ambro reversed that ruling and ordered the judge to drop the marshals from the lawsuit.
Outside the marshals, Henry’s lawsuit named Essex County and about 30 law enforcement officers and government officials in New Jersey and Pennsylvania as defendants, accusing them of abuse of process, false arrest and imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, failure to train and supervise and conspiracy.

A woman relaxing at a beach in Wildwood, New Jersey, was reportedly run over by a police officer during a freak accident last week.
The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon, according to the Star-Ledger. Wildwood Police Chief Joseph Murphy told the Press of Atlantic City that the incident involved one of the department’s Ford F-150 pickup trucks.
The victim, whose name was not released by authorities, suffered broken ribs, three fractured vertebrae and a lung injury, according to WPVI-TV, which cited the victim’s boyfriend.
Murphy said the officer driving the pickup was responding to an ordinance violation when the accident happened.

“The officer was down there in performance of his duties on a call for service,” the police chief said. “Horrifically, he ran over a victim who was lying on the beach.”
Murphy added that the victim was visiting Wildwood while on vacation ahead of Labor Day weekend.
“There was a lot of help from people on the beach,” the police chief added. “The civilians on the beach did an incredible job.”
A bystander named Rose Simone told WPVI-TV that fellow beachgoers panicked when the pickup ran over the woman.

“Everybody was gathering around screaming, yelling at the person in the truck, ‘Stop! There’s somebody under your truck! You hit somebody!’” the Chalfont, Pa., resident recalled.
“A bunch of guys came around that were in the area, and they said we have to lift the truck, the front of the truck, to get her out,” Simone continued.
Simone told the Star-Ledger that she noticed the woman before the incident happened. The victim was wearing dark clothes while lying on a beach towel.
“It was an accident, clearly, but one that probably could have been avoided,” she added.
The victim is expected to survive.
