Maryland Woman Accused Of Punching Lifeguards Trying To Stop A Fight

OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) — A Maryland woman is accused of punching two lifeguards as they tried to stop a fight.

The Daily Times of Salisbury reports 23-year-old Jennifer Cameron is charged with second-degree assault in the July 7 fight. Charging documents say Cameron and two men began causing a disturbance on Ocean City Beach and beach patrol members intervened. The documents say the three were angry that they were approached while a nearby family with a "naked baby" was left alone.

Court documents say the fight reportedly started when a member of the nearby family threw sand at Cameron. They say the lifeguards attempted to stop the fight and Cameron punched them in the face. Cameron later told police that she had been drinking and thought the guards were going to fight her.
