The following stories are not just about difficult situations, but reminders of responsibility and the everyday choices that shape a life. A road defect, an animal crossing, or something unclear behind the wheel. On April 28th, 2023, New Jersey police stopped a vehicle after an unusual roadside [music] event. Witnesses said an 8-year-old child was inside while the mother's inconsistent explanations suggested heavy stress was affecting her judgment. I don't think you're going to get this thing about it. She drove a phone. >> Holy crap. What did she hit? >> Are you sure? >> I don't need an ambulance or anything. >> I don't need an ambulance. I swerved hit a deer and like >> Yeah. >> Who was in the car with you? >> Me and my son. >> Where's your son? >> Uh he's gone.

You told me you were at the Massos house after Hughes and then you left with your 8-year-old son and you thought you bump and this doesn't look like a bump to me, does it? Okay. So, somewhere there's a disconnect. Somewhere you're lying. Does that sound like plausible? Okay. Cuz nothing this isn't adding up. So, was your 8-year-old son in the car with you? So, where were you tonight? >> I was out with friends. >> Where at? >> With friends. >> Where? >> I honestly like I don't I don't know what you want me to tell you. >> I'm just asking you a question where you were tonight.

You're not going to say? >> I'm not going to say. >> Okay, that's fine. No, no, that's that's your right. Um, are you going to do some psychophysical tests for me or you going to decline those, too? So, I can determine if you're drunk or not. Will you do them? >> Guess not. >> You won't? >> Guess not. >> No. >> Guess not. >> Okay. So, we're going to bring you back to headquarters. >> Well, we're going to bring you back to headquarters anyway. Okay. Because I feel like you had a little bit too much to drink just based off of talking to you, your mannerisms, the way you're talking and stuff like that. I just feel like you've had a little bit too much. And for your safety, we're going to have to place you under arrest and we'll figure it all out when we get back to headquarters. If you want to do the psychophysicals, you could do them inside psych inside headquarters. If you want to, we're going to we're going to do the alka test. You can decline that if you want to also, but this is what we're going to do. And we're only going to go back into headquarters to do the psychophysicals because it's raining and stuff like that out. Okay. All right. Well, it's not what I want. It's what I have to do. >> Wow. >> Are you going to at least tell me what you so I can go look to see if >> that that's not a deer. That's not a deer. That is not a deer. We'll find it. Don't worry. We'll figure this all out. Okay, Natalie. >> Explanations such as a [music] road defect or an animal did little to clarify the situation, leading officers to review the circumstances [music] to ensure everyone's wellbeing. >> I'm just going to reach my hand in and grab your purse. Is your phone in your purse, too? Cuz you're going to need your phone, too. All I'm going to do is go in the car, grab your purse, and give it to that officer. He's going to take it back with you. Unless you don't want me to. I'll leave it in here. >> You want me to go in? Do you want me to grab your purse for you? >> Yeah. Okay. Put your name on. Okay. Okay. >> All right.

I just don't want you to fall over. Right. >> As initial [music] concerns about the mother's state subsided, attention shifted to questions about the child's seating arrangement. >> Kelly, where who took your son? No, >> we just we just need to make sure he's okay. >> My son's fine. >> Well, there's pretty significant damage to your vehicle. We just want to make sure that he's okay. >> He's fine. I can tell you he's he's fine. >> Was he in the car with you? >> No. >> You stated it before that he was in the car with you. >> He's not He was not in the car. >> Okay. Is that the >> No, it's the one down by Coolage. The pole is completely snapped at the Is that the witness? The w what address is the witness from >> here? >> His girlfriend's house is across the street. >> I I just hope you're not lying to us about having your son in the car. I just hope that >> we're just trying to just It's just for the safety of your son. I just >> No, no, no. I hope you're not lying to us. >> So, you're saying that there was your son was not in the car? >> Was not in the car. >> Okay. Okay. Thank you. >> Are you witnesses? >> Like, what is happening? >> We're just trying to make sure your son's okay. >> He's fine. I'm just very like I'm I'm sorry. >> It's okay. >> The witnesses said there was a child that was taken out of the car. I just want to make sure that the kid is okay. >> Sure. >> That's all. >> We have her address. We have the witnesses. >> I'll track down the witnesses to confirm that. >> Yeah. >> Um and then uh I can follow up at their address or whatever. >> So the witnesses >> someone's got to stay here close down the road too. >> No. And then someone's got to go in with her. >> That's the problem. >> So, the witnesses said there was an 8-year-old or a a child in the car. >> That's what dispatch told us over the radio that there's a child trying to leave and then when we got here, she said that her son was in the car and her friend took her home. >> Her friend picked her up and took her home. >> Now, she's denying that. >> Yes. >> So, did these guys did the witness see? >> The husband arrived [music] quickly, worried about both his wife and child. The child was taken home safely while [music] the mother remained due to earlier unclear statements. Who's that? >> Hello. >> How are you? >> Good. How are you? >> Are you related? >> I'm Kelly's husband. >> Oh, your husband. Okay. Um, did your son get home? >> Yeah. >> Your son was in the car with her? >> Okay. >> Who who picked up your son from here? >> Uh, Dean did. Uh Dean Dean. >> So we Yeah, we got reports that there was a child in the car and then someone picked up the son. We don't know who. She won't tell us who. >> So we're just trying to make sure your son's okay. >> My son's fine. >> Okay. He got dropped off home. >> Yeah. >> Okay. You're right now your your wife's under arrest for driving while intoxicated. Okay. >> Okay. >> She's not answering any questions. She initially told us a couple stories and she backtracked and we're just worried about the sun. She won't even tell us where the sun was. She actually lied to us and said the son wasn't in the car. So, right now she's not talking. We're just going to go take her back to headquarters and do some physical tests, psychophysical tests. And um Can you tell me what happened? >> She here. >> Uh no, she said she did a bump. She drove all the way from Coolage like that here. She immediately called when she couldn't drive anymore, she immediately called someone to come pick up her son because I'm thinking she didn't want anybody to know her 8-year-old son was in the car with her. But she told us her son was in the car with her initially and then she backtracked. So that's where we're at right now. Do you have any questions? >> Yeah. Just in the process. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. I understand. >> Where did she turn a quarter and hit? No, she there was she had a telephone pull by Coolage. >> Is it down? Like is it >> No, it's not down. >> She just >> It's bad. >> Okay. What do I have to do about the car at this point? >> I'm We're going to get a tow truck to come tow it >> back. >> Yes. >> Right now? >> Yes. >> So, please explain to me the process at this point. When you take her back, >> we're going to take her back. >> It's going to happen and then when I >> normally Yeah. Normally, we would just do the test on the side of the road. Um, we can't do it. It's raining. So, we figured we'll take her back in. We're going to give her the opportunity to take the test. If she doesn't want to do that, then we're going to bring in to do the alco test. If she refuses the alco test, then she's going to get another summon for refusing the alco test. Um, after that, then she's going to be allowed to make a phone call um and come get picked up, but it's going to be a little bit. >> Yeah. Can you give me an idea of time frame? It depends if she's cooperative >> and I can't speak to her until >> No. >> Did Jean leave? >> No, she's >> I know this is a lot. I'm sorry. >> It's okay. >> My son is fine. >> Yeah, that's okay. >> That's Did she That was our whole concern. Where's your son? Oh, my son wasn't in the car with me. You told me your son was in the car with you. We have two witnesses that say your son was in the car with you. You made a phone call and had somebody come pick him up. >> She's nervous. She doesn't want a position where she feels like her son is at risk. >> Right. Right. Right. Of course. Of course. >> Defending herself. >> Of course. Of course. I get it. >> Understand? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's fine. But from our perspective, we just wanted to make sure the son was okay. >> I get it. The first question you asked me, I get it. >> Yeah. Is your son okay was the first thing I asked. >> I get it. We just had like the PL parade here. She was part of it dealing with the police officers, with the fire department. That's just this is >> okay. >> Oh, the first concern for us. She's okay. And after that, we just needed to know where her son was. That's it. And she she she just doesn't want to talk. And that's fine. That's her right. >> And that that's it. >> Okay. >> At the station, [music] declining a routine verification step created further delays, showing how limited cooperation can slow down resolution. So ma'am, what we're going to do is if you're okay with it, we'll do some um psychophysicals, which are roadside testing, and we'll do it in here. >> Sure. >> Are you comfortable with that? >> If I have a wire, I mean, anything that I need a wire for, wire. >> Okay. You don't have to do the roadside testing. >> Okay. Then I'm not doing the roadside test. >> Okay. All right. Then we'll just um >> Why would you even want me to do the roadside test if >> it's your choice? It's it's completely your choice. It's part of our investigation. It's completely up to you whether you'd like to do them or not, but we give you the option as to whether you want to. I repeat, the law requires you to submit samples of your breath for testing.

So, we went down there at like 5:13 and said he said, "Well, she [snorts] cuz I wasn't sure if I was going to stay overnight." And I was told by 5 the the thing I was told the new thing was over the weekend. They told me this on Friday. If you're going to stay tonight, you got to go down there by 5:00. And you tell them that and they say, "Okay." And so then it's supposed to be on some type of list. And so I've been in here all night cuz the dog had to go potty. I walked out with him, took the dog potty, and he walked that way. [snorts] And I was just walking, let her go potty from it. And then I came straight up here and went here and then I was getting my stuff packed and, you know, getting ready for our I just got a storage unit getting the kids in the camp. >> Okay.

Are you guys okay with that? Or >> you want to give a call staff really quickly and get them on the >> If not, we'll just, you know, walk her out. So, >> gave me a pass.

And so I follow the rules all weekend at 8:00 in the morning, you know, the next day you're supposed to come down there. If you're leaving, you leave or you say, "Hey, I'm still here." And then it gives you the different color bracelet. >> So what does that look like? Is it like it's a bracelet? >> He's So you get checked in with a regular bracelet, right? >> Okay. And at 5:00 that's the same color, but you go down there, you say and you get whoever you're with goes down to say Tuesday night because it was already 5:15 and we I wasn't sure exactly cuz I was like time schedule life. I was like, well, it might be possible by tonight. I wasn't sure. Uh he tomorrow is what we're going to be doing everything.
