Evesham Township, New Jersey — On Sunday, April 30, 2023, around 1:00 a.m., Evesham Township Police Department (ETPD) officers were at the scene of a car crash in Evesham Township, New Jersey, when they spotted a white Hyundai Genesis speeding west on Taunton Lake Road, according to police. Investigators said the vehicle was traveling 80 mph in a 45 mph zone and it appeared to increase in speed as it passed the officers. When an officer tried to initiate a traffic stop, the driver of the Genesis, identified as 24-year-old Marc Ferraiolo, failed to pull over and ran the red light. The officers stopped pursuing Ferraiolo due to the risk it posed to them and the public, investigators said. Police broke off a pursuit due to the risk it posed to them and the public and went to the couple’s home after recognizing Ferraiolo as the driver. Police body camera videos show the moments when officers pulled up to the home where Ferraiolo and his wife, 42-year-old Ruth Patton live with Ferraiolo’s mother.
Officers then located Ferraiolo and Patton at their residence, where Patton exited the car after it pulled into the driveway of their home. Ferraiolo backed the vehicle into a police car, then drove across lawns in efforts to run down two police officers. Officers were able to jump out of the way and were not struck by the vehicle. Ferraiolo continued driving in reverse, hitting a police vehicle with a K9 named Tango inside. Ferraiolo then drove across his own property, a neighbor’s property and down the street. He attempted to make a U-turn and then drove at a high rate of speed toward the police and crashed again into the police K9 vehicle. He backed up his vehicle several more times and continued to ram the police vehicle with the police K9 inside the vehicle, the police chief said. He continued down the street, striking two additional Evesham police vehicles that were parked on the side of the road, unattended, and ultimately crashed into a police vehicle down the road that was also unoccupied.
Ferraiolo’s vehicle was inoperable by the last crash. Because his doors were locked, police had to break into his windows to unlock the vehicle and apprehend the suspect, who was transported to a hospital, where he received treatment before being moved to jail. Ferraiolo is charged with attempted murder of a police officer, aggravated assault on police, eluding, criminal mischief and injuring a police canine. Patton is charged with terroristic threats and obstruction of justice. The incident caused damage of about $45,000 to each of three police vehicles and a neighbor’s parked car, according to a probable cause statement. Ferraiolo and Patton are no strangers to local police, according to neighbors. People who live on their street say they’ve been the “neighbors from hell” for at least the last two years of the six years they’ve lived there. Neighbors said the couple lived in a poorly kept home with bright lights and multiple cameras. Police reports of the complaints go back at least a year.
