MEDIA - A Boothwyn apartment complex faces an injury liability complaint after a neglected apartment repair allegedly resulted in injury.
The complaint was filed by plaintiffs Donald and Elizabeth Doyle on May 10 in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas against defendant Chichester Apartments LLC. Chichester owns the Willowbrook Apartments at 3360 Chichester Ave. in Boothwyn.
According to the complaints, the Doles had submitted several repair requests to the defendant for their apartment that had gone unanswered, including a metal threshold connecting the tile of the kitchen with the carpet in another room that was not properly affixed.
On January 30, 2020, Donald Doyle allegedly was walking over the threshold when his toe caught on the threshold and sustained a deep wound ultimately resulting in amputation of two toes.

An Alabama man who was arrested last year in connection with the mysterious disappearance of a missing 21-year-old mother is no longer facing a federal kidnapping charge.
Instead, 39-year-old Shannon Ryan was charged Thursday by Miramar police with child neglect. Ryan, a self-proclaimed witch who has been in jail since his August arrest, is now being held on a $100,000 bond.
On July 26, Leila Cavett’s 2-year-old son was found wandering alone in a Miramar apartment complex. Investigators soon learned that his mother was missing. Cavett, who was living in Georgia and visiting Florida, was last seen July 25.
