Around 10:54 PM on February 25, 2025, Officer Alexander Miller with the Hoboken Police Department observed a 2022 Range Rover parked in the wrong direction on Fourth Street near the intersection with Washington Street. He advised dispatch and made contact with the 2 female occupants of the vehicle. As he was speaking with them, he observed indicators of impairment. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Samia, and she admitted to consuming 1 drink earlier that evening. Based on their suspicion of impairment, she was asked to perform field sobriety exercises after Officer Dylan Archilla arrived on scene to assist. The first field sobriety exercise was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Samia did not touch heel-to-toe on each step, turned improperly, and took an incorrect number of steps. The final exercise was the One Leg Stand test. During the One Leg Stand test, Samia failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion and put her foot down before the test was complete. Based on her traffic infraction, her admission to consuming alcohol earlier that evening, and her inability to satisfactorily complete the field sobriety exercises, Samia was placed under arrest for driving under the influence. Her vehicle was impounded for a 12-hour hold according to John’s Law. Officer Archilla transported Samia to the Hoboken Police Department for further processing. Samia was read the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators at the station, but she refused to submit breath samples. Samia was eventually released to a sober adult pending her court appearance after they signed the Potential Liability Warning form on Samia’s behalf. Samia was issued the following citations: Operating under the influence, refusal to submit to chemical test, consent to take samples of breath, reckless driving, and wrong way on one-way street ---------------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).
