Cop Stops College Girl on a Sidewalk. What He Found Made It Worse

On September 7, 2023, Rowan University Police officers in Glassboro, New Jersey spotted a vehicle doing something no car should ever do — driving along a pedestrian walkway inside the campus boundaries, where students walk to class. Patrolman Lehm pulled the car over and immediately spotted an open container of alcohol sitting in plain view on the passenger floorboard. When backup arrived, the 18-year-old freshman behind the wheel was asked to step out for standardized field sobriety tests. She was arrested for DUI along with a list of additional charges and transported to Rowan University Police headquarters, where she submitted to an evidential breath test: 0.08%. That number looks borderline — until you remember she's 18. In New Jersey the limit for a driver under 21 is 0.01%, effectively zero tolerance. Here's the full breakdown of the stop, the tests, the number, and why 0.08 means something very different at that age.
