Скачать или смотреть Middletown DUI Arrest: Driver Denies Drinking Despite High BAC

Late on December 16, 2023, a black 2012 Toyota Camry caught the attention of Patrolman Edward Jennings of the Middletown Township Police Department. The vehicle was swerving on Highway 36, prompting Patrolman Jennings to initiate a traffic stop. Despite the activation of overhead lights and siren, the driver continued for a while before finally stopping.

The driver, heading home from her boyfriend’s place in Keyport, appeared to be impaired. She slurred her words and seemed confused when asked for her insurance proof. Despite her denial of consuming alcohol, the officer’s suspicion led to the arrival of Patrolman Dominick Librie for field sobriety tests.

The driver’s bloodshot eyes, the smell of alcohol, and her failure in the sobriety tests led to her arrest for driving under the influence. Her vehicle was impounded under John’s Law, and she was taken to the police headquarters. There, she agreed to a breath test, which revealed a BAC of 0.14%, exceeding the legal limit of 0.08%. She was then detained until sober and issued summonses for various offenses, including operating under the influence and reckless driving.
