Tuesday, May 08, 2012
APEX, N.C. (WTVD) -- Apex police had to be called to a polling place at Lufkin Road Middle School about 7 p.m. Tuesday after a disturbance broke out.
Police said 50-year-old Colleen Mary Brock was attempting to vote when she refused to give the polling attendant her name, address and political affiliation.
When the attendant told Brock the law required her to provide the information, police said she became irate and she and her husband, 51-year-old Troy Scott Hale, began to yell at the polling attendant.
The victim, 24-year-old Melvin Martinez Jr., tried to diffuse the situation when Hale allegedly picked up a polling sign and tried to hit him with it. Police said Brock then stepped in and assaulted Martinez by shoving him.
Both Brock and Hale were charged with misdemeanor assualt and creating a public disturbance.

National Police Week
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Currently, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, DC to participate in a number of planned events which honor those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
The Memorial Service began in 1982 as a gathering in Senate Park of approximately 120 survivors and supporters of law enforcement. Decades later, the event, more commonly known as National Police Week, has grown to a series of events which attracts thousands of survivors and law enforcement officers to our Nation's Capital each year.
