A Cape May man is accused of throwing a shovel at a Wildwood police officer. Officers responded to a store on the 300 block of Rio Grande Avenue on a report of a man, later identified as Ronald Norbeck threatening employees. Norbeck screamed at the officers to not come any closer and that he had a gun. The employees safely exited the store and the responding officers quickly initiated de-escalation techniques, police said. Norbeck continued to refuse to comply with officers’ commands while he kept his hands concealed from officers and advised officers to use deadly force against him. He later threw a shovel narrowly missing an officer at the scene, police said. After multiple attempts were made to de-escalate the situation, one of the patrol officers deployed a conducted energy device and Norbeck was taken into custody.
