Woman Files Wrongful Arrest Lawsuit Against Gloucester Township, Winslow Police

Gloucester Township, NJ -- A Gloucester Township woman has filed a false arrest and malicious prosecution lawsuit against police departments in Gloucester Township and Winslow, as well as both townships and the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, the Courier Post reports.

Crystal Langford is seeking $1.5 million in damages relating to a 2014 arrest in which she was charged with the aggravated assault of Shermaine Lewis, according to the report.

Langford and Lewis reportedly had an ongoing feud, and Langford claims police ignored a long list of prior false allegations by Lewis against her, according to the report.

She also claims her car was impounded during a traffic stop by Winslow Police earlier in the day, and that she was at home with her children at the time of the assault, due to her inability to drive, according to the report.

She was in jail for a month before making bail, and was under house arrest for nearly a year after. Charges against her were dismissed in September, according to the report.
