NORTH CAPE MAY – On May 15th at approximately 8:30 p.m., Lower Township Police Communications Center received multiple 9-1-1 calls from residents in the 600 block of Wayne Avenue here.
The callers were reporting a large disturbance involving five or six subjects fighting in a front yard.
Lower Township Officers responded to the area and spoke with a female victim who advised officers that her boyfriend had punched a hole in her bedroom door and broke the bedroom door off the hinges.
The female stated that when her brother tried to intervene, her boyfriend, identified as Paul Cornwell, age 48, physically assaulted her brother, Louis J. Ambrose, by punching him about the face.

Lower Township Municipal Court Judge David Deweese set Cornwell’s bail at $15,000 cash. Cornwell was subsequently lodged in the Cape May County Jail in default of bail.
The investigating officer in this incident was Patrol Officer Jennifer Anzelone.
