PHOTO: A police pursuit from Mantoloking Township ended with the suspect crashing his vehicle in Lakewood, and arrested. Police say the suspect allegedly partially dragged an officer with his vehicle on Route 35 during a traffic stop, and fled.
Officers chased the suspect into Lakewood, where he crashed at the intersection of Airport Road and Cedar Bridge Avenue and partially into the small lake, police say.
The suspect then bailed from his vehicle, but was apprehended moments later and arrested. [TLS-46/TLS-CCP/TLS-28]
I was at the scene (as press) and was very impressed with the way Officer Buttersworth handled it, calmly with professionalism, a true role model to other officers. MR.
Its Sgt Butterworth
What’s with these lakewood drivers ? Now there making trouble in mantoloking ?!
Sgt Butterworth handles everything with class. I heard he used the LPD state of the art GPS system to locate the subject. Kudos Sgt

Are you drunk?
I cannot figure out these police chases, they put every driver on the road in danger, just because someone ran away from a routine police stop!! So big deal he ran away so he wont get a ticket !his license is suspended?is that such a big deal! why put the whole road in danger!???!!
It wasn’t just a traffic stop he dragged a cop during a stop, he does that to a cop what would he do to you, better yet if it happened to you and cops didn’t go after him you would be filing complaints left and right
Sgt Butterworth should be the role model for other supervisors of LPD!
Butterworth for chief!

Does it realy matter for this report?
Lakewood PD is consistent with their professionalism. They are Lakewood’s Finest.
For criminals that run, or engage in unlawful acts to try to avoid justice, I have no compassion. Become a decent person, and you will avoid these types of issues. If you choose not to, then rot in jail until you kick your habit and learn how to live in society.
#10 nudnik- How does caling the officer by his correct title “realy” matter for this report?
Its something called “respect”. I know a lot of Lakewooders do not know the meaning of that word but maybe you should look it up.
Keep up the great work LPD & SGT Butterworth
Ahh… You should look into this story a little more. Most of your info is incorrect. It started in Brick, not mantaloking. Yes, Police officer was hit and dragged. Pursuit continued through Brick, ended in Lakewood.
