Around 5:30 p.m. on July 7th, 2025, officer Andrew Meyers with the Euing Township Police Department observed a twocar motor vehicle accident while he was on patrol in the vicinity of an Olden Avenue in Princeton Avenue. He exited his patrol car and first initiated contact with the driver of a black 2021 Honda HRV who was later identified as 22-year-old Christina. He then spoke with the 74year-old driver of a gray 2012 Toyota Camry who was struck from behind by Christina. The driver of the Toyota Camry was later transported to the hospital for further evaluation. Yeah. Do you mind if I I It's in my car. Do you mind if I like all my money box and stuff? Okay. >> The lush is a big impact. So when you hit me, that's why I told her, "Oh Lord, it put me up in the air. So, she was telling me, pulling me out of the car, said, "No, wait.

He detected the odor of alcohol and observed other indicators of impairment. Christina denied consuming any alcohol and said that she was delivering for Door Dash. Based on the officer's suspicion of impairment, Christina was asked to perform field sobriety exercises. >> And then I the the first thing I do is I I park my car and I go up to her cuz I saw through my through her rearview mirror that she was an older woman and I was like, "Oh my gosh." like um like I was like, "Oh my gosh, I want to make sure she's okay."

After her vehicle was surged, her vehicle was impounded for a mandatory 12-hour hold under John's law.

Why would we search the car? So just hang tight while she search the car. Turn. as well. >> Um, I just Thank you. What's um so what's going to happen is I have to fill out a potential liability form. Um so your daughter was arrested for suspicion of DUI. So, she got into an accident while she was out there. She's frantic. I had to order coming from her. I put her through a few sprite tests and she did not pass. Okay. We That's why she got arrested and she was placed in handcuffs and brought back. Um went through that whole process. So, what this is now is this is John's law. John's law is a 12-h hour mandatory hold on her vehicle and I have to release her into your custody for the next 12 hours. So that being said, for the next 12 hours, you're responsible for her entirely. So if she gets behind the wheel, gets into an accident, hurts, or kills somebody, you're going to get held liable for that. >> Okay. I'm sorry. I'm just I'm just confused right now. So >> at the Euing Township Police Department, Christina was read the standard statement for motor vehicle operators and initially agreed to submit breath samples. However, she failed to provide adequate breath samples when officer Jemalev was administering the alco test machine. So she was ultimately charged with the refusal. When the officers were finished with processing her, Christina was released to her mother pending her court appearance. after she signed the potential lady warning form on Christina's behalf. >> She said that you did a breathalyzer. >> Mhm. >> And she passed. >> She she got charged with the refusal because not that she refused the instructions, she wasn't blowing into the machine correctly, so it wasn't able to read her blood. >> Absolutely. Can I call her dad? Can we have Can we So he knows what's going on. Can we talk about this? >> But you want to put on speaker? >> Yeah, >> sure. You can't go and put on speaker. >> Okay. I'm just cuz I I can't Okay. [sighs] >> Hi. So, I'm here at the police station. Um, can I have the officer tell you what he told me? >> Okay. Okay. >> Okay. So, your daughter was involved in a motor vehicle accident on Olden Avenue. Um, I saw her I was on another call, but I saw her standing in the middle of Olden and she looked frantic, >> right? >> And she was panicked. So, I swung over to see if everything was okay. And that's when I started talking to her and she told me she was in an accident and she was overly emotional and all over the place and she was fixating on some. But either way, when I was out there talking to her, um, I noticed that she was having a problem like staying still and standing and she was like all over the place and disoriented and her balance wasn't good. So, I asked her if she'd be willing to do field sobriety tests. She didn't pass the field sobriety test. She wasn't able to follow command. She wasn't able to stay standing still. She was falling over. I had the odor of alcohol coming off of her. So, that's why she got arrested. Okay. Brought her back. She agreed to do the breathalyzer, but she wasn't providing a sufficient sample instead of machine, and that's why she's getting charged with a refusal. Her court date is in two days. Now, what's really why I have to have you here is because of John's law, I have to release her into an adult's custody for the next 12 hours. So, >> that would be you. So, I'm going to have you sign all the paperwork and it's basically saying that you won't let her drive for the next 12 hours and you're going to watch over her. >> Okay. Was anybody >> But I think she exaggerated it to your daughter which sent her into a frantic spiral. >> Okay. >> But the lady's getting checked out. But from what I saw, everybody's okay. >> Okay. But nobody was killed. It's not like that. The damage to the cars was honestly minor. Like you couldn't even tell. >> Okay. So, she has a does she she has a court date in two days? >> She has a court date on the 9th at 8:30 in the morning right here. >> Does she So, she needs an attorney. You can get one if you I don't know if the first one is going to be that. I think the first one's just a plead guilty or not guilty and then get a future court date. >> Okay. So, >> but you can they have DUI lawyers. You can get a DUI lawyer. >> Okay. Okay. So, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to like wrap my brain around this. So, if you did not get a sufficient sample, right, >> um, >> that counts as a refusal in the state of New Jersey. >> So, because she refused, that counts as a DUI. >> It's a different charge than the DUI, but yeah, >> Christina was issued the following traffic citations. Operating under the influence 39450, consent to take samples of breath 39 to 4,50.2, and two for >> so was she not giving or >> she wasn't breathing into the machine properly. So when you do the breath sample on the output test machine, it's a long continuous exhaled breath. And if you slow the flow, stop the flow, try pulling it back in, try breathing into it funky, it won't register those things and it comes back as an insufficient sample. >> And that's the only reason why she failed. But again, she blew into the machine seven times. >> Okay. Okay. So, >> as I was explaining to her, um, she thinks this is like the end all be all for her life. In Pennsylvania, DUI is a felony. In New Jersey, it's a title 39 offense. So, not to belittle it, but the best thing I can equate to her is getting a speeding ticket. Okay. The first offense, >> document that in the report. And the judge does good on those kind of things. So, >> yeah, she starts on Monday. >> Mhm. Yeah, she let me know. So, those kind of things, they look well in her favor, but it's She's panicking over her life being over. This isn't going to This doesn't end people's lives. >> Okay. So, um I'm just going to take her home and then Can I leave her car where it is? >> Yeah. So, that's the other part I explained to her. Um The second part of John's law, the first part is me releasing it to you. The second part is there's a 12-h hour mandatory hold on the vehicle. >> Okay? >> So, as I explained to her, um the vehicle is impounded in around 6:00. So, after 6:00 in the morning tomorrow, you can come here to get the vehicle release form. >> And then after you get the vehicle release, then you can go to the towyard to get the vehicle. >> Okay. How much is that? Do you know? I don't know how much to tell. >> Okay. All right. >> That's between the the tow companies and the townships. They set those prices with each other. >> Okay. >> If you can cross over to 19. >> Yeah. >> She blew it seven times. It was you. She just couldn't execute as you needed to get a sample. >> Correct. >> And that was in your opinion intentional or unintentional? >> Um, I'll be honest with you, I'm not the officer that administered the alco test. Um but as the instructions that were read to her and she acknowledged the sign that she acknowledged even if she agrees to that take the alco test and agrees to the breath samples if she is unable to provide a viable sample then she'd get charged with her refusal. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you. >> No problem. Any questions? I'll be back in a couple minutes. Calm down. >> This is this is your stuff. Both copies of this >> is my or my wallet, insurance, everything. Okay. So, please give me all the information of who I need to um speak to on Wednesday because >> tomorrow he just said >> Oh, >> tomorrow you get all the stuff for your vehicle to get back. Wednesday you just show up. >> Oh, that's what that's what I meant. Like for the stuff on Wednesday and >> Wednesday [snorts] you show up here and you'll be in front of the judge. >> Did they search your car? >> Did they find anything? >> There was alcohol in my car. But I wasn't. I wasn't. Okay. Yep. >> So, I just need you to sign right here. It's the same form three times in here. [snorts] And the last one is >> on October 29th, 2025, Christina pleaded guilty to operating under the influence. As a result of her guilty plea, Christina had to spend 12 hours at an intoxicated driver resource center, use an ignition interlock device for 3 months, and pay a total of $383 in fines. The other citation for refusal was dismissed as part of a plea agreement. >> Thank you. >> Okay. So I can come from to get a car after 6 >> after 6 in the morning. >> I'm I >> Mom, I'm No, Christina, >> please. >> So she's a registered owner of the vehicle. So she has to be here to get the vehicle release. Um once you get the vehicle release, then you guys can go to the tow company to get the vehicle. Um let me double check my car and I will to verify. I give you back your registration. Uh your insurance information you gave me via your phone and your license is inside there. But actually check inside there and your license. [snorts] >> So um so the same one you showed me your insurance on your phone that and that piece of paper for your registration and your license. That's how you get the vehicle release. >> Okay. So after 6 tomorrow, you come here. [snorts] This phone tell them you need a vehicle release and then >> Yep. >> there. And then court is literally right here. >> So I just go from the vehicle release should >> like or no like when it >> Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm just just making sure. >> Okay. >> Any other questions? >> Thank you. >> All right. Like I explained earlier, >> he's 100% responsible for that 12 hours. You mind if I just um Court records also indicate that on May 15th, 2024, Christina has previously been cited for careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage in Heightstown, New [clears throat] Jersey. Prior to that, she had been caught using a fake ID to enter a place that serves alcohol in Beach Haven, New Jersey on July 29th, 2023.
