Around 8:42 PM on March 6, 2023, Patrolman Keith Falkowski and Sergeant Richard Boyle with the Barnegat Township Police Department responded a report of a motor vehicle accident in the area of West Bay Avenue and the Garden State Parkway overpass. Sergeant Boyle was advised that the striking vehicle drove from the scene and came to a stop in the ACME parking lot at 912 West Bay Avenue. Patrolman Falkowski eventually located a 2013 Nissan Altima with major front-end damage in the parking lot and made contact with the driver, who was identified as 21-year-old Victoria. Patrolman Falkowski asked Victoria for her documents, but she was only able to provide him with her insurance. Victoria told him that she was coming from her friend’s funeral earlier that day. As he was speaking with her, he detected the odor of alcohol and noticed other indicators of impairment. Victoria eventually vomited outside the vehicle, and at this time she admitted that she had consumed a couple of shots at the funeral home before operating a motor vehicle. Patrolman Falkowski radioed for backup, and Sergeant Boyle responded to the scene. He conferred with the other officers, and they determined that they would administer field sobriety exercises. Sergeant Boyle asked Victoria to perform field sobriety exercises, and she agreed to to so. Sergeant started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test, and it was administered by Patrolman Falkowski. During the Walk and Turn test, Victoria did not touch heel-to-toe on each step and failed to count as instructed. The final exercise they attempted was the One Leg Stand test, but Victoria was unable to complete the test satisfactorily. Based on the motor vehicle crash, her admission to consuming alcohol, and her inability to satisfactorily complete the field sobriety exercises, Victoria was placed under arrest for driving under the influence. After she was placed under arrest and placed in the patrol car, her vehicle was impounded by South Shore Towing for a 12-hour hold under John’s Law. A search of her vehicle yielded 8 airplane bottles of Fireball Whiskey. Patrolman Falkowski transported Victoria to the Barnegat Township Police Department for further processing. At the station, the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators was read to Victoria, and she agreed to submit breath samples for testing. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC level of 0.16%, which was double the legal limit of 0.08%. After the officers were finished with processing Victoria, she was released to a sober adult after she signed the Potential Liability Warning form on Victoria’ behalf. She was issued the following citations: Operating under the influence, reckless driving, careless driving, traffic on marked lanes, and open container Court records indicate that on September 20, 2023, Victoria was found guilty of operating under the influence. As a result of being found guilty, she had to use an ignition interlock device for 1 month, spend 12 hours at an intoxicated driver resource center, and pay a total of $640 in fines. The other 4 citations were dismissed as part of a plea agreement. ---------------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).
