On August 13, 2024 around 5:58 AM, Patrolman Rhameir Edwards with the Wildwood Police Department was dispatched to the intersection of Youngs Avenue and Atlantic Avenue on a report of 2 unconscious individuals inside a vehicle. The caller reported that the vehicle had not moved for about 2 or 3 traffic light cycles. He arrived on scene around 6:01 AM and noticed that a gray 2019 Jeep was parked on Atlantic Avenue at the intersection with Youngs Avenue, while a female was outside the driver side door and a male was outside the passenger side door. The female was identified as 24-year-old Taylor Diprosperos and the male was identified as 22-year-old Jordan Hall. Around this time, Taylor restarted the vehicle, but Patrolman Edwards instructed her to turn off the vehicle and she complied. Jordan told the officer that they had been at an after party after leaving the club earlier that night, and that they were headed back to his family’s house. Patrolman Edwards also spoke with the caller on scene, who told the officer that he was riding a bicycle and proceeded to awaken the occupants of the vehicle by knocking on the window and then turning off the engine. It was determined that Taylor was the one who had driven the vehicle. Patrolwoman Brooke Iacono arrived on scene to assist shortly afterwards, and she began speaking with Taylor as Patrolman Edwards spoke with the caller. Around this time, Taylor mentioned that her father was a homicide detective in Philadelphia. She repeatedly asked for an opportunity to show the officers her “badge” and mentioned multiple times that her father was a cop. Since Patrolman Edwards detected the odor of alcohol and observed other indicators of impairment, he asked Taylor to perform field sobriety exercises. Patrolman Edwards started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. During the HGN test, he observed the lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, and the onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test. After the instructions were explained to her, Taylor failed to perform this test satisfactorily. Instead, she asked if she could caller father. Based on the caller’s report of her falling asleep at the wheel, the odor of alcohol, and her inability to satisfactorily perform the field sobriety exercises, Taylor was placed under arrest for operating under the influence. She was handcuffed and placed inside the patrol car. Her vehicle was impounded by Bob’s Auto Body for a mandatory 12-hour hold under John’s Law. Taylor was initially transported to the neighboring Wildwood Crest Police Department for the breathalyzer test. At the station, the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators was read to her, and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC level of 0.18%, which was more than double the legal limit of 0.08%. Following the Alcotest, Taylor was transported to the Wildwood Police Department for further processing. Once they finished processing her, Taylor was eventually released to a sober adult pending her court appearance after they signed the Potential Liability Warning form on Taylor’s behalf. Taylor was issued 1 citation for operating under the influence (39:4-50). Court records indicate that on April 23, 2025, Taylor was found guilty of operating under the influence. As a result of her conviction, Taylor had to spend 12 hours at an intoxicated driver resource center and pay a total of $690 in fines. ------------------------------------------ Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).
