Around 1:56 AM on October 19, 2024, Patrolman Michael Zibrin with the Shrewsbury Police Department was on patrol at the Dunkin parking lot and he observed a 2007 Honda Accord being driven southbound without headlights on Broad Street. He began following vehicle, and the driver made a right turn onto Thomas Avenue and started driving the wrong-way on a one-way road. He initiated a traffic stop and made contact with the driver, who was identified as Darby. As Patrolman Zibrin was speaking with Darby, he detected the odor of alcohol and noticed other indicators of impairment.

Patrolman Zibrin transported Darby to the Shrewsbury Police Department for further processing.

(P.L. 2024, c.16). Defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty. The New Jersey Supreme Court has previously affirmed in Salzano v. North Jersey Media Group, 993 A.2d 778 (2010) that “The fair-report privilege reflects the judgment that the need, in a self-governing society, for free-flowing information about matters of public interest outweighs concerns over the uncompensated injury to a person's reputation.” This video advances a compelling public interest. The summary of events was based on records that are “open to public view through open access to public records” as defined in the Salzano case. In Ramos v. Flowers, 429 N.J. Super. 13, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court has also affirmed the right to film law enforcement interactions.
