Last of the Old Law: Newton Driver Sentenced After Andover Twp. NJ Crash

February 20, 2020 by Matthew Reisig

New Jersey enacted new penalties for drunk and impaired driving starting on December 1, 2019, but at the time of this writing, there are still cases circulating through the system stemming from incidents that occured prior to that date. That means a lot of people in New Jersey are waiting for their day in court or their sentencing under the old guidelines, which can include lengthy license suspensions.

In one case, a 73-year-old Newton woman named Renay Tripp accepted a plea agreement in the final week of January that imposed a sentence of probation plus a 30-day home detention. Her license was also suspended for seven months, and she will be required to attend 12 hours of classes at an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center. There are also fines ($650), restitution ($10,000), and her car will have to have an interlock ignition device installed.

Tripp wasn’t just dealing with a DWI charge. The incident in question was an accident that began when she crossed over double lines and struck an oncoming vehicle, which then struck another vehicle. In all, three people were injured in the crash, including Tripp. Tripp admitted having two cocktails at dinner, but when her blood was tested at the hospital where she was transported following the wreck, it registered at .21%, or almost three times the legal limit.

Because her blood alcohol content was above .15%, she would still face a four to six month license suspension under the revised law, but under the new requirements, a first offender with a BAC below .15% won’t have their license suspended at all.

If you’re facing a DWI charge in New Jersey, an experienced lawyer can be a big help to you. Call Matthew Reisig today at 732-625-9660 for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey DWI defense lawyer.

Drunk Driver Strikes Pole in Upper Saddle River, NJ

February 12, 2020 by Matthew Reisig

A lot of people choose to stay in to relax and refresh rather than going out, in part to steer clear of potential drunk drivers. Maybe this isn’t a huge consideration at 4 p.m. on a Monday, but the idea holds.

So imagine the feeling among residents in the Orchard Drive and Lake Street neighborhoods in Upper Saddle River on February 10 when an allegedly drunk driver struck and knocked down a utility pole, leaving many addresses in the area without power or cable for hours.

At the scene, 23-year-old Zunnan Chudry was arrested and ultimately charged with DUI, reckless driving, and failing to report an accident. He was released to a sober adult after processing at the Upper Saddle River police department.

If you’ve been arrested for DWI in New Jersey, an experienced DWI defense lawyer can make a big difference in your case.

Call Matthew Reisig today at 732-625-9660 to learn how he’s helped more than 1,400 New Jersey residents avoid conviction on DWI and related charges.

New York Driver Arrested for Overnight DWI in Fairfield Township, NJ

February 12, 2020 by Matthew Reisig

In the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, February 9, a Fairfield Township patrol officer named Michael Tilton was keeping an eye out around Horseneck Road when he saw a gray 2000 Honda weaving.

He pulled the car over, finding 37-year-old Timothy Deery of Dobbs Ferry, New York, behind the wheel. Tilton reported that Deery showed telltale signs of being intoxicated, including slurred speech, unresponsive pupils, and a strong odor of alcohol on his breath.

Deery attempted field sobriety tests at the scene, but failed them. Tilton arrested him and took him to headquarters for processing, where Deery refused to provide a breath sample for analysis.

All told, Deery is facing charges of DWI, failure to maintain lane, refusal, and careless driving. He was released on his own recognizance later, and will face a court date in Fairfield soon.

If you’re an out-of-state driver with a pending DWI allegation in New Jersey, get help from a lawyer who knows New Jersey’s laws, rules, and procedures. The home team always has an advantage, so make it yours, too.

Sparta Woman Arrested for DWI; Was Involved in DWI with Injuries in 2012

February 6, 2020 by Matthew Reisig

A Sparta, NJ driver with a history of DWI has been arrested for a second time within the 10-year-window that leads to prosecution for a second offense. Charlene Myers, 48, was approached by Sparta police around 11:40 p.m. on January 18 at the Blue Heron Park and Ride after they received reports that a car was parked on the grass.

On the scene, officers found a red Jeep that had jumped the curb and ended up in the grass. Myers, in the driver’s seat, slurred her words as she responded to police questions. She told police she’d had two beers that night, and subsequently failed field sobriety tests. After being processed at headquarters, she was released to a sober adult with a court date pending.

In 2012, she was charged with DWI, assault by auto, and careless driving after an incident where her car struck a utility tractor that pinned a 63-year-old against a guardrail. The victim was cleaning debris left over from Superstorm Sandy around 7:15 p.m. when Myers’s 2011 black Jeep crashed into the victim’s Bobcat utility tractor.

The tractor rolled forward, pinning him. He was ultimately airlifted to Morristown Medical Center and was treated for blunt trauma and cuts.

If Myers was convicted for the 2012 incident, she’ll be facing enhanced penalties as a second time offender. If you’ve been arrested for DWI, or are facing a second or third charge for DWI, call Matthew Reisig today at 732-625-9660 for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey DWI defense lawyer.

Mahwah Mayor Drove Drunk to Employee Party, Passed Out Naked in Employees Bed, Anonymous Source Complains

February 6, 2020 by Matthew Reisig

Town employees in Mahwah Township are asking for the town council to take action against Mayor John F. Roth after a letter entitled, “Concerned Employees of the Township of Mahwah” was obtained by the press. The letter recounts how a township employee threw a party at her home, with 20-25 attendees. The Mayor is said to have driven to the party drunk, consumed more alcohol at the party, and after disappearing, was discovered “undressed sleeping in” the hostess’s bed.

The incident, according to the letter, sparked embarrassed gossip in township offices, as well as an effort by the mayor to cover it up. The letter writer says that Roth’s actions have created a “toxic and hostile workplace” that has “already caused issues in the office which make it nearly impossible to work collectively.”

The Township Council is investigating, but has no authority to fire Roth. Voters have recalled mayors in Mahwah’s recent past. In fact, in 2016, voters recalled former Mayor Bill Laforet, who was subsequently defeated by Roth to hold the seat.

It sounds like Mayor Roth avoided a DWI stop, but may find himself in much hotter water as a result. If you’ve been stopped for DWI in New Jersey, get the help you need to keep moving forward.

THC Vape Pen Adds to Problems in Byram Twp DWI Arrest

February 4, 2020 by Matthew Reisig

Byram Township police stumbled onto quite a mess with an allegedly drunk driver during a January 24 traffic stop. Though it began normally enough, after police pulled over Kristopher Fanelli on Waterloo Road, they began to suspect that the driver was intoxicated.

Fanelli agreed to participate in several field sobriety tests, which he failed, after which he was arrested.

As police investigated the scene, they discovered a vape pen containing THC liquid. When Fanelli was finally transported to the station, police say that he failed breath tests twice.

He’s been charged with DWI, possession of a controlled dangerous substance in a motor vehicle, possession of under 5 grams of hash, and careless driving.

If you’ve been stopped for drunk driving in New Jersey, a lot of things about your life can change really quickly. Protect yourself and your future by calling Matthew Reisig today at 732-625-9660 for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey DWI defense lawyer.
