On April 14 at about 2:39 p.m., Sergeant Paul Marchese was allegedly dispatched to for a domestic dispute in the parking lot.

Witnesses from the inside of Applebees reported to police they saw an assault happen in a Chevrolet Malibu in the parking lot. Witnesses were reportedly sitting at tables located near the windows of the restaurant.

When police arrived, the black man reportedly tried to drive away, but Marchese reported he and Corporal Fitz Duffy boxed the car in.

The man was ordered to exit the vehicle three times, police said. During that timeframe, the man allegedly leaned over "as if to grab something from underneath the seat." Marchese said he and Duffy assumed the man was reaching for a weapon, so they drew their weapons.

As it turns out, the black male with the goatee was found to be a black female with a goatee, Robin N. Ross, 33 of Pottstown. She was handcuffed immediately when she exited the car, police said. Ross told police, reportedly, that she was trying to hide the keys form the passenger.
