On May 15, 2026 around 5:42 PM, Officer Arturo Layza with the Morristown Police Department was dispatched to the scene of a motor vehicle crash at West Park Place. He arrived on scene and made contact with the driver of a silver 2018 Toyota Highlander. The Highlander had crashed into a black 2026 Honda CR-V, and the driver of the Honda claimed that his vehicle was stopped at the traffic light at the time of the crash. His 2 sons (ages 6 and 4) were inside the vehicle at the time of the crash. Rachel told Officer Layza that she was showing a commercial property to her client earlier that day. She admitted to consuming 1 drink with a client at the Horseshoe Tavern (36 Speedwell Avenue), but she would later admit to consuming 2 drinks. Based on his suspicion of impairment, Rachel was asked to perform field sobriety exercises as Officer Catalano assisted with the investigation. Based on the motor vehicle crash, her admission to consuming alcohol earlier that day, and her inability to satisfactorily complete all the field sobriety exercises, Officer Layza placed Rachel under arrest for driving under the influence. The vehicle was impounded for a mandatory 12-hour hold under John’s Law. Officer Catalano first transported Rachel to the Morris Township Police Department for the administration of the breath test. At the Morris Township Police Department, Rachel was read the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators, and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC level of 0.139%, which was almost double the legal limit of 0.08%. She was then transported to the Morristown Police Department for further processing. After the officers finished processing her, she was eventually released to her father Leonard Moss pending her court appearance after he signed the Potential Liability Warning form on Rachel’s behalf. Officer Layza issued her the following citations: -Operating under the influence (39:4-50) -Reckless driving (39:4-96) -Careless driving (39:4-97) -Traffic on marked lanes (39:4-88) As of September 17, 2026, Rachel’s case is still pending before the Morristown Municipal Court. ------------------------------------------ Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).

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.
