Around 1:17 AM on August 12, 2024, Patrolman Kevin Connor with the Highlands Police Department was assisting Patrolman Antonio Flores on a traffic stop on State Route 36 North and Allyson Lane. He observed a gray 2015 Toyota Tundra speed past him at around 60 or 70 MPH and got into his patrol car so he could catch up with that vehicle. He eventually located the vehicle and activated his emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. The driver pulled over on 7th Avenue off of Memorial Parkway in Atlantic Highlands. Patrolman Connor made contact with the driver, who was identified as Haley. He also made contact her boyfriend, whose father was the owner of the vehicle. As he was speaking with Haley, Patrolman Connor detected the odor of alcohol and observed other indicators of impairment. Haley informed Patrolman Connor they were coming from 2nd Jetty in Sea Bright. She admitted to consuming 2 beers before operating a motor vehicle, and her boyfriend had also been drinking. Based on his suspicion of impairment, he called for another officer to assist with field sobriety exercises. Patrolman Joseph LaBella with the Atlantic Highlands Police Department arrived on scene shortly afterwards. Patrolman LaBella started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test. The second exercise administered by Patrolman Connor was the recitation of the alphabet, which Haley was unable to do successfully. The third exercise was the Walk and Turn Test. During the Walk and Turn test, Haley did not touch heel-to-toe on each step and used her arms for balance. The final exercise was the One Leg Stand test, and Haley did not raise her foot in the proper fashion while putting her foot down before the test was complete. Based on her erratic driving, the odor of alcohol, her admission to consuming alcohol earlier that day, and her inability to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises, Haley was placed under arrest. Her passenger was instructed to exit the vehicle and find a ride home because he had been drinking as well. At the station, Haley was read the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC level of 0.238%, which was nearly triple the legal limit of 0.08%. After they were finished processing Haley, she was released pending a court appearance. Haley was issued the following citations: Operating under the influence, operating under the influence underage, reckless driving, reckless driving, and failure to maintain lane ---------------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).
