Mayor Jim Kenney’s daughter is handcuffed in North Wildwood after brawl with daughter of a local councilwoman. Sea Isle City will hear case.
The case has been transferred to Sea Isle City. Both women were charged with disorderly conduct after the fight was witnessed by North Wildwood police on patrol outside nightclubs.
It was a true Philly vs. the Shore brawl on the streets of North Wildwood early Sunday, according to police.
Nora Kenney, 25, daughter of Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, was taken into custody about 1:40 a.m. after a fight with Tara Tolomeo, 27, police say.
Tolomeo is the daughter of North Wildwood City Councilwoman Kellyann Tolomeo.
Both were handcuffed, according to the police report, and charged with disorderly conduct after their fight was witnessed by two North Wildwood police officers on duty in the area of Olde New Jersey Avenue, the city’s nightclub district, said Capt. John Stevenson, a police spokesperson.

The charges are disorderly persons offenses punishable by fines and will remain at the Municipal Court level, he said.
The case was transferred from North Wildwood to Lower Township because of a potential conflict of interest with an elected official, said North Wildwood court administrator Angela DeRitis.
[UPDATE: On Monday, Aug. 19, the case was again transferred, this time to Sea Isle City, because the prosecutor in Lower Township works in the same firm as the North Wildwood solicitor, DeRitis said. No court date has been set.)
Neither Nora Kenney, of Philadelphia, an event coordinator, nor Tara Tolomeo, a nurse who lives in North Wildwood, responded to messages left for them Thursday.
