Incoming Sparta Mayor Continues Lawsuit Against Township For DWI Stop

January 15, 2020 by Matthew Reisig

The role of mayor in Sparta Township is mostly ceremonial, so much so that the people of Sparta don’t even elect their mayor. The town council, a five-member body, elects one of its own each year to fill the role, signing documents for the council and representing Sparta at public events. Each January, they rotate the job to another member.

It’s all pretty ordinary and mundane, at least until this year. Shortly after the council elected Councilman Jerard J. Murphy mayor on January 7, Murphy announced that he had a court date later this month stemming from a lawsuit he’s filed against Sparta.

Murphy was allegedly pulled over in February 2016 and charged with drunk driving. In January 2018, he pleaded guilty to a reduced dirty license plate violation and paid a $100 fine. In the meantime, Murphy, a councilman since 2013, learned that he was intentionally targeted by police.

He sued, alleging that the department was retaliating for actions he took as a councilman. The case would later be thrown out by a judge, but Murphy’s lawyers are fighting to bring it back to life. The vote to elect Murphy mayor was 3-2. When news of the ongoing litigation against Sparta broke, the councilors who voted with him were quick to share that they were unaware of it at the time.

Colorado Man with No Driver’s License Collides with New Jersey Guardrail

January 13, 2020 by Matthew Reisig

In a story that reads a little like a metaphor, an unlicensed Colorado driver struck a guardrail in New Jersey and will be facing some consequences as a result.

According to Sparta Police, the 32-year-old Northglen, Colorado resident collided with a guardrail near the intersection of Route 15 and Father John’s Lane around 4:30 p.m. on December 23. When police spoke to the driver, Erik Tikkanen, they detected the aroma of alcohol.

Tikkanen was transported to Newton Hospital following the crash, and police obtained a court order for a sample of his blood and urine. Tikkanen has been charged with DWI, Careless Driving, Reckless Driving, Failure to Maintain Lane, Driving While Suspended, and Obstructing the Passage of Other Vehicles. His court date is pending.

New Jersey Man Arrested for DUI After Falling Asleep at Connecticut Light

January 13, 2020 by Matthew Reisig

A Jersey City man had a bad trip through Connecticut when Westport police found him asleep behind the wheel at a green light on January 31. The incident took place around 3:30 a.m., when a police car came upon a stopped vehicle on the westbound lane of Post Road East. The driver, who the department identified as Joseph Mayes, was asleep with his foot on the brake.

It took several tries, but police were able to wake Mayes up. He appeared confused by instructions to park the vehicle, and instead continued on Post Road East. Police were eventually able to get him to pull over into a parking lot, where he failed a series of field sobriety tests. He’s been charged with DUI and disobeying the signal of an officer. He was released after posting a $500 bond.

The problem with out-of-state DUI charges is that if you’re convicted, the consequences can follow you home. Protect yourself and your driving privileges. Call Matthew Reisig today at 732-625-9660 for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey DWI defense lawyer.

New Jersey Man Gives Memorable Reason for Driving Drunk: The Jets Suck

January 13, 2020 by Matthew Reisig

Sports fans are an emotional bunch, especially when their favorite team loses. Apparently the Jets’ loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 10 (2018) was enough to send one New Jersey fan over the edge. About an hour after the 41-10 rout ended, West Milford resident Christopher Greyshock, 57, rear-ended another vehicle at Alps Road and Route 23.

When police arrived on the scene, they quickly determined that Greyshock was likely intoxicated. Later investigation found that he had an open container in his car, along with marijuana and rolling papers.

As he failed field sobriety tests, an officer asked him why he’d gotten behind the wheel in his condition. “The Jets suck,” was his memorable response. At police headquarters, his blood alcohol level was determined to be 0.13, well over the state’s .08% legal limit for driving. He’s been charged with DWI, possession, reckless driving, and having an open container in his vehicle, reportedly a fifth of bourbon.

Whatever your reason for driving drunk, a DWI charge is a big deal. Get the help you need to protect your rights and minimize your exposure to serious penalties by working with an experienced New Jersey DWI defense lawyer. Call Matthew Reisig today at 732-378-9272 for a free consultation.

Drunk Man Tries To Escape To NY After DUI Accident

November 27, 2019 by Matthew Reisig

Man Attempts Barefoot Escape to New York After Drunk Driving Accident

A New York resident attempted an innovative evasion of police after flipping his vehicle in Mahwah, New Jersey, on November 27. Officers found him walking alone, barefoot and splattered with mud, less than a mile from the New York state line.

Nicholas Panebianco, 26, lives in Airmont, New York, and after Mahwah police finally found him – his flipped 2017 Dodge pickup truck had been called in earlier – he confessed to having been driving the overturned truck and, according to Officer Christopher Fasulo, had a “strong odor of alcohol” on his breath.

Upon discovering the unoccupied truck, which was lying on its side in the woods near the intersection of Miller Road and E. Mahwah Road, police called in a K-9 officer to help find the driver. He had apparently exited the wrecked truck and then, according to a witness, disappeared into the woods. He was found on Airmont Avenue, apparently having decided to walk home across the state line.

Panebianco was ultimately taken to Hackensack University Medical Center for observation, and has been charged with DWI, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, and failing to report an accident.

If you’re facing DWI charges in New Jersey, you need experienced help right away to limit your exposure to our state’s tough drunk driving penalties. Call Matthew Reisig today at 732-378-9272 for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey DWI defense lawyer.

Women Facing Charges After Taking Turns Driving Drunk

November 27, 2018 by Matthew Reisig

Attorney For Fighting NJ DUI Case With Multiple Drivers

Hoboken Police, responding to a call about multiple car crashes involving parked cars, found a pair of women who had allegedly been alternating driving chores in a small-scale drunk driving spree. Inside the car, officers found 23-year-old Janelle Green, a New Jersey resident, behind the wheel and 24-year-old Jamila Banks, a resident of Alexandria, Virginia, in the passenger seat.

According to the two women, Banks had been driving the car but hit two parked cars as she went. Perhaps recognizing that she shouldn’t be driving, she turned the wheel over to Green. Unfortunately, Green was also allegedly intoxicated at the time, and she went on to strike at least two more parked vehicles.

Hiring A DUI Lawyer To Fight New Jersey Drunk Driving Charges

Both women were taken into custody and charged with DWI in a school zone. Looking at the bright side, no one was injured in the incident, including Green and Banks, but both will have a fight on their hands to push back on this novel DWI story.

If you’ve been arrested for DWI in New Jersey, an experienced DWI defense attorney can make a big difference for you. Call Matthew Reisig today at 732-378-9272 for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey drunk driving defense attorney.
