A Quiet Evening on Route 46 Explodes Into Violence

There are hotel parking lots, and then there are Route 46 hotel parking lots — where the night never sleeps, and police know trouble tends to wait in the shadows. But even seasoned officers didn’t expect what unfolded Thursday evening when they approached a woman with multiple outstanding warrants.

Authorities say Galaxi-Star Douglas, 29, detonated into violence the moment officers moved in. What began as a routine warrant pickup spiraled into a scene so chaotic, so raw, it left one officer bleeding and on a stretcher.

This wasn’t resistance.
This was open rebellion.

THE INITIAL APPROACH: A SIMPLE NAME CHECK TURNS VOLCANIC

Officers Call Her Name — She Responds With Fury

Investigators say officers located Douglas in the parking lot of a Route 46 hotel known for short stays and long police logs. The moment they informed her of her warrants, her demeanor flipped.

She didn’t walk.
She didn’t run.
She erupted.

Authorities say she launched into a verbal storm — screaming, cursing, and refusing to comply. Officers attempted to de-escalate, but Douglas reportedly escalated further, escalating by the second.

Then came the moment everything combusted.

THE BITE: A SHOCK ATTACK THAT SENT AN OFFICER TO THE ER

A Sudden Strike, A Flash of Pain, A Collapse to the Ground

As officers tried to restrain her hands, Douglas allegedly snapped forward with animal-like speed and clamped her teeth into an officer’s arm.

A clean, intentional bite.
A wound deep enough to draw blood and require hospital treatment.

Authorities say the officer staggered back in shock as Douglas continued fighting — kicking, thrashing, twisting, and refusing every command. Backup units raced in as the struggle intensified, turning the parking lot pavement into a wrestling mat of sirens, sweat, and chaos.

THE BODILY FLUID ATTACK

Another Line Crossed

Even once partially restrained, Douglas allegedly continued her assault — this time by attempting to throw bodily fluids at officers. Under New Jersey law, that’s not just disgusting — it’s aggravated assault with teeth.

Officers, now juggling a wounded colleague and a combative suspect, finally managed to pin her down and secure her in cuffs.

The entire arrest took several minutes.
But witnesses say it felt like much longer.

WITNESSES: “IT LOOKED LIKE A RIOT, BUT WITH ONLY ONE PERSON”

Hotel Guests Left Frozen as the Fight Unfolded

People standing outside smoking cigarettes.
Families unloading luggage.
Workers heading to night shifts.

All of them stopped cold.

Witnesses described Douglas as “thrashing like she wanted to break the concrete” as officers fought to contain her.

Screams echoed off the parked cars.
Lights flashed across the building façade.
Route 46 traffic slowed to rubberneck the unfolding spectacle.

“I thought it was a whole group fighting,” said one witness. “Then I realized it was just her versus all the cops.”

THE CHARGES: A LEGAL LANDSLIDE

From Warrants to Full-Blown Felonies

Authorities say Douglas didn’t just add to her legal troubles — she built a skyscraper of them.

She is now charged with:

• Aggravated assault on law enforcement
• Criminal mischief
• Resisting arrest
• Obstruction of a governmental function
• Throwing bodily fluids at police
• Plus several outstanding warrants

The wounded officer is expected to recover, but medical staff are monitoring the bite wound for complications.

THE AFTERMATH: BODY CAMS ROLLING, INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY

Prosecutors Reviewing the Violent Night Frame by Frame

Officials say body-worn camera footage captured the entire confrontation — from the first shouted command to the final takedown.

Douglas was transported to the county jail, where she awaits her first court appearance.
Police say they’re relieved no other officers were injured.
