Woman Attacks Point Pleasant Boro Cops, Saying 'Coronavirus:' PD

POINT PLEASANT BORO – A woman in Point Pleasant Boro was arrested this week after she implied she has the coronavirus – and even repeated the words "corona" and "virus" when she attacked officers, police said.

The woman was identified as 22-year-old Kayla Kraus of Mays Landing, who was residing at the Point Pleasant Inn at the time of the incident. Kraus was charged with two counts of terroristic threats and aggravated assault by Lt. David Radsniak.

The incident happened at 7:29 p.m. on Tuesday when officers responded to the Point Pleasant Inn for a well-being check, police said.

Upon arrival, a woman came to the door of her room very agitated and aggressive towards the responding officers, police said.

The woman continued to advance towards the officers while repeating the words “corona" and "virus,” implying that she was infected with the disease, police said.

The woman refused to comply with the directions of the officers and continued her advance, striking Radsniak’s arm during the incident, police said.

Kraus was released on a complaint-summons pending her first appearance in Superior Court, in accordance with the New Jersey bail reform law. Kraus was transported to Ocean Medical Center for an evaluation, police said.
