OCEAN CITY — A Virginia woman involved in a beach melee three years ago filed suit in federal court last week against an Ocean City police officer, the department, the Town of Ocean City and Worcester County, alleging excessive force and negligence among other charges.
Last Wednesday, nearly three years to the day of the July 2013 incident, Dalima Palmer, now 27, of Dumfries, Va., filed suit in U.S. District Court against the officer who allegedly tackled her to the ground while she was nine months pregnant during a brawl on the beach, two more OCPD officers who allegedly denied her medical attention while in police custody and other officers who remained in her hospital room at PRMC while she gave birth to her child via C-section. The suit also names the chief of police, the Town of Ocean City and Worcester County for alleged negligence in the hiring and training of the officers. The suit seeks $500,000 in compensatory damages and $500,000 in punitive damages against the various defendants named in the complaint.
The incident began around 2:30 p.m. on July 21, 2013 when Ocean City police responded to the beach at North Division Street for a reported group of disorderly males. The request for assistance came from an Ocean City Beach Patrol lifeguard, who told police he had approached the group about playing soccer on the crowded beach, at which time one of the suspects allegedly threatened him.
When OCPD officers attempted to speak with the suspect, identified as Abdul Kargbo of Woodbridge, Va., he began cursing and yelling at the officers and attempted to leave the scene. As officers attempted to arrest Kargbo, other members in the disorderly group began to yell at police and act in a disorderly manner.

Force justified!!!
Should not have resisted arrest!!!!
That's pretty inexpensive for a lawsuit like that. An out of court settlement is in the making, with the city's insurance company leading the way.
lol welfare trash getting in fights 9 months pregnant ?
obviously a welfare thug lover.
Racist much. If she was your daughter I'm sure you'd feel differently
If she were my daughter, she would have been raised properly and not acted like the savage this woman was!!!
any guess what the bidding will start at?

Exactly
If there had been working body cams, there would be no doubt.
1:55 PM, I love how you clowns always resort to that type of thinking... You do know, cops charge pretty much everyone now with blanket resisting arrest? They start saying before they even put cuffs on you now that you are resisting arrest...
Clearly, you don't like the constitution or your rights, so if that is the case, get the fuck out of my country if you don't like them or want them... No one is forcing you to be here or stay here...
pooooor little thug.
3 yrs later what happened baby daddy leave mow pulls the obamas race card ,Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.
Why wait three years if this is a legitimate complaint? Looks to me like someone is trying to beat the statute of limitations for such a civil suit. Don't know how long it is, but three years? Looks pretty suspicious to me.
Typical baby breeder.
3 yrs ? lolol
looks like she got hit in the mouth.
Deserves nothing!!! didnt you all see the video of these morons. They Barely spoke english, just stupid fools. Both 3:31 s correct!!!
Yea, with the ugly stick.
Good for her!!! New year 2007 at a private residence, personal argument I tried to leave peacefully as soon as I walked to the door and was on porch I was jumped on by two of ocean city's finest and pepper sprayed ultimately turning into an all out brawl with two officers on each arm and leg while the original officer continually kicked me breaking two ribs. Say what you want it really does happen and I'm a professional white male so the race card isn't realistic the police today are out of control

3:47-That apparently does not apply because of the obvious.
How is it racist? I saw the video she is a thug. Only racist person is the suspect because she referred to white people as the C word and maybe you for demonizing the comment.
When you go across that bridge towards the O/O corridor you are heading back into time. An era when America elite and powers that be acted on negativity and violence to maintain power, complacency, Incarceration and economy over certain types of people.
O/C has their own social ill like every other community in the county like drugs, corrupt cops and malious agendas by the natives. So it's ironic how white people post on here like they are exempt from the crimes that occur in the area when it fact, they are the bulk of law infractions in the area.
Since the beginning of time to current white people has cause the most mayhem across the globe yet trying to hide their ills by rewriting history text.
You can have Mayberry, it's a large contaminated area of nasty water and people as well. It's a reason why they were left down there and it's evident.
