New Jersey police bodycam footage from Central Regional High School shows officers responding to a parking lot altercation and placing 18-year-old Ava Bacchione under arrest for Simple Assault (N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1a(1)). This upload documents the campus response, separation of parties, explanation of domestic violence procedures, transport to Berkeley Township Police Department, and processing (medical evaluation, fingerprints, and photographs), based on bodycam video and related public records.
According to incident reports, at approximately 9:00 AM on June 17, 2024, officers assigned to Central Regional High School were notified of two students arguing in the parking lot. Police reports state officers identified Ava Bacchione yelling at the other individual about alleged infidelity and observed her throw a phone and strike him multiple times. The other individual declined medical assistance but was taken to the school nurse under protocol.
Additional officers responded to assist. Because both parties were adults and in a dating relationship, officers determined the matter fell under domestic violence procedures and advised that an arrest would be made. Reports state that security footage showed Bacchione initiating the physical altercation and that officers did not locate footage corroborating her claim that the other individual pulled her hair.
Bacchione was transported to Berkeley Township Police Department for processing. She was evaluated by first responders, then fingerprinted and photographed. She was charged with Simple Assault (N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1a(1)) and released pending a future court date. Court records indicate the case was transferred to another municipal court and was reported as pending as of August 4, 2024.
