On April 18, 2025, at approximately 9:25 a.m., Police Officers Aaron Font and Anthony Rutkowski responded to 7-11, 422 Washington St., on reports of a woman inside the store being disruptive. The woman had been told earlier in the morning that she was not allowed to be inside. When officers arrived, the woman refused to give her full name and gave a false address. She was told if she didn’t provide the proper information she would be arrested. She continued to refuse requests for information and was placed under arrest. The woman, later identified as 28- year-old Dina Elbanna of Hoboken, threatened to punch the officers. She was transported to Hoboken Police Headquarters and processed on charges of obstruction of the administration of the law and disorderly conduct. She was released from custody with a summons. At approximately 11:25 a.m., Officer Font responded to Starbucks, 51 Newark St., where Elbanna was seen acting disorderly and was reported to have taken items without paying. Officer Rutkowski arrived on the scene and an on-scene investigation revealed Elbanna had taken a food item worth $4 and ate it without paying. No formal complaints were signed, but based on her behavior she was transported to a local hospital. During transport she pulled away from one of the officers, damaging his watch and she was charged with criminal mischief. Elbanna was ultimately released from custody at the hospital. #Bodycam #Shoplifting #Trespass #PoliceInteraction #RefusalToIdentify #Resisting #CriminalMischief #UseOfForce #HospitalIntake #MentalHealthCrisis #LawEnforcement #PoliceTraining #PublicSafety #Accountability #Documentary
