Around 1:20 AM on December 20, 2024, Patrolman Christopher Fuentes with the Red Bank Police Department a 2025 Volvo that was improperly parked in the parking lot in front of Volcafe. He activated his emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop and made contact with the driver, who was identified as Dana. Dana told Patrolman Fuentes that she had been at Gabriella’s Italian Steakhouse in Red Bank, and that she had been in a fight with her boyfriend earlier that evening. As he was speaking with Dana, he detected the odor of alcohol and observed other indicators of impairment. Dana was unable to locate all her documents, and she admitted to consuming alcohol earlier that evening. Based on his suspicion of impairment, Dana was asked to perform field sobriety exercises. The first exercise was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Dana failed to touch heel-to-toe on each step, counted incorrectly, and turned improperly. The final exercise was the One Leg Stand test, and Dana failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion while putting her foot down before the test was complete. Based on the odor of alcohol, the glass of wine in her vehicle, and her inability to adequately complete the field sobriety exercises, Patrolman Fuentes placed Dana under arrest for driving under the influence. The vehicle that she had been driving was impounded for a mandatory 12-hour hold under John’s Law. She was transported to the Red Bank Police Department for further processing. At the Red Bank Police Department, Dana was read the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators and agreed to submit breath samples for testing. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC of 0.205%, which was more than double the legal limit of 0.08%.
