http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A44826-2004Aug6.htmlDOVER TOWNSHIP, N.J. - A doctor whose homes were searched by FBI agents investigating the 2001 anthrax attacks was charged with assault for allegedly fighting with four family members at a motel just hours after the raids, authorities said.
Dr. Kenneth M. Berry, who founded an organization in 1997 that trains medical professionals to respond to chemical and biological attacks, was arrested Thursday afternoon by police responding to domestic dispute at the White Sands Motel in the resort community of Point Pleasant Beach. His relationship to the four was not immediately known.
Berry, 48, of Wellsville, N.Y., was released from the Ocean County Jail after posting $10,000 bail.
Several hours before Berry's arrest, neighbors said officers arrived at his parents' summer home in Dover Township. They brought out garbage bags that appeared to be filled with bulky contents, said Jonathan DeGraw, 26, who rents the house next door. They also removed boxes with clear plastic bags in them.
Two flatbed trucks hauled away two vehicles, according to another neighbor, Adam Fadel. One of the vehicles was returned Thursday evening.
In Wellsville, more than three dozen agents, some in protective suits, combed through two homes listed in property records as the past and present addresses of Berry.
