Tolomeo is the daughter of North Wildwood Councilwoman Kellyann Tolomeo and lives in North Wildwood as a nurse. Kenney is an event coordinator. 

Councilwoman Tolomeo has served on the North Wildwood City Council since 2007 and represents the city's Second Ward. She was born and raised in Philadelphia. 

The two women were charged with disorderly conduct, which is punishable by fine. The case has been moved from North Wildwood Municipal Court to Lower Township due to a conflict of interest with Councilwoman Tolomeo's position in the local government. 

Their court dates are scheduled for Aug. 22.
