JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP, N.J. — As firefighters headed into action in Boston, some local firefighters say they were under attack here.
Jeffrey Maynard faced Franklin County Municipal Court judge Tuesday charged with domestic violence and assault on a township firefighter stationed at 6767 Havens Corners Road. According to prosecutors, Maynard was driving with his 16-year-old daughter when they got into a fight. “He began calling her names,” said prosecutors. “He called her a whore.”
Prosecutors said the teen “dove out” of her father’s truck at a red light and straight to the township fire station. Surveillance video of the station’s lobby shows the girl run into the first set of unlocked doors and press the intercom to be allowed into the locked area. In that time, she was also holding the unlocked doors shut so Maynard, a double amputee, could not kick them open.
