On October 17, 2022 around 1:04 AM, Patrolmen Martin Julian, Joseph Pandorf, Michael Hyle, and Timothy Swain with the Lacey Township Police Department responded to the parking lot of the Bud Mezera Park on a report of a woman who was honking her horn. As the officers arrived on scene, they noticed that there was trash scattered on the ground near the vehicle. They made contact with the driver, who was identified as 35-year-old Emily, and she told the officers that she had driven there after having a fight with her boyfriend. When they asked her why garbage was scattered around the vehicle, she insisted that the argument was just verbal. As Patrolman Julian was speaking with Emily, she asked if she could just be arrested for DWI. Afterwards, he began to notice signs of impairment and detected the odor of alcohol as he was speaking with her. Emily also admitted that she drove to the park, but denied consuming alcohol inside her vehicle. Based on his suspicion of impairment, Emily was asked to perform field sobriety exercises. Patrolman Julian started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. During the HGN test, Patrolman Julian observed the lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, and the onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. He also observed vertical gaze nystagmus in both eyes. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Emily did not touch heel-to-toe on each step and she turned improperly. The final exercise was the One Leg Stand test, and she failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion while putting her foot down multiple times. Based on her admission to consuming alcohol earlier that evening, the odor of alcohol, and her inability to perform the field sobriety exercises in a satisfactory manner, she was placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated. She was transported to the Lacey Township Police Department for further processing. At the Lacey Township Police Department, Patrolman Julian read her the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators, and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC of 0.18%, which is more than double the legal limit of 0.08%. After she was processed, she was released to her boyfriend pending her court appearance after she signed the Potential Liability Warning form on her behalf. Patrolman Julian issued her the following summonses: Operating under the influence, reckless driving, and littering from vehicles. Court records indicate that on May 15, 2023, Emily pleaded guilty to operating under the influence. As a result of her guilty plea, her license was revoked for 1 year, she was required to use an ignition interlock device for 2 years, while spending 48 hours at an intoxicated driver resource center and completing 30 days of community service. The other 2 citations were dismissed as part of her plea agreement. New Jersey court records also indicate that Emily has a previous DWI arrest from Barnegat Township on March 14, 2012 as well as another DWI arrest from Barnegat Township on September 10, 2007. ------------------------------------------ Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).

North Jersey Media Group, 993 A.2d 778 (2010) that “The fair-report privilege reflects the judgment that the need, in a self-governing society, for free-flowing information about matters of public interest outweighs concerns over the uncompensated injury to a person's reputation.” This video advances a compelling public interest. The summary of events was based on records that are “open to public view through open access to public records” as defined in the Salzano case. In Ramos v. Flowers, 429 N.J.
