It was around 1:40 a.m. on February 19th, 2025 when a 911 caller reported a jeep that had crashed into a utility pole near Halfmile Road and Westfront Street in Middletown, New Jersey. The caller said the driver was still inside the vehicle. The engine was running and the pole looked ready to fall. When officers arrived, they found 27-year-old Rhys Colin, who said she was driving home from a concert at the Credential Center in Newark. The smell of alcohol was strong, her eyes were red and glassy, and her speech was slurred. Moments later, field sobriety tests began, and everything that followed was captured on body cam. Later at headquarters, an alco test measured her BAC at 0.16%, exactly twice New Jersey's legal limit of 0.08%. >> Hello, um, Patrolman Ruin, I just want to let you know my camera's on. >> Are you injured at all? >> No. >> No. All right.
