Description

Around 11:39 PM on April 2, 2025, Patrolman Edward Rilho with the Point Pleasant Beach Police Department observed a northbound white 2019 Toyota Tacoma speeding about 50 MPH in a 25 MPH zone on Ocean Avenue near Homestead Avenue. He began following the vehicle and he observed the driver tailgating a speeding silver sedan. He eventually activated his emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop, and the driver pulled over on Ocean Avenue near Atlantic Avenue.

He made contact with the driver, and she was later identified as 25-year-old Marissa Razzoli. He told Marissa that she and the other driver were driving like “scumbags.” She told him that she had been at the Boatyard earlier that evening, and admitted to consuming a few beers before driving. When he returned to her car to speak with her, Marissa had her father on the phone, and told the officer that he worked for Homeland Security. After Sergeant Gary Siculietano arrived on scene to assist, Marissa was asked to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises.

The first exercise was the recitation of the alphabet from “A” to “Z” and she did not do so satisfactorily. The second exercise was the One Leg Stand test. During the One Leg Stand test, Marissa failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion and put her foot down before the test was complete. The third exercise was the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Marissa did not touch heel-to-toe on each step and turned improperly.

Based on her erratic driving, the odor of alcohol, her admission to consuming alcohol earlier that evening, and her inability to satisfactorily complete the field sobriety exercises, Patrolman Rilho placed Marissa under arrest for driving under the influence. Marissa’s vehicle was impounded for a 12-hour hold according to John’s Law. Patrolman Rilho transported Marissa back to the Point Pleasant Beach Police Department for further processing.

Marissa was read the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators at the station, but she refused to submit breath samples. After the officers finished processing her, she was released to her sister Danielle pending her court appearance after she signed the Potential Liability Warning form on Marissa’s behalf.

Patrolman Rilho issued Marissa the following citations: 
-Operating under the influence
-Consent to take samples of breath
-Reckless driving
-Careless driving
-Following too closely

We are in compliance with YouTube's Fair Use Policy because we edit several long clips into a concise story. This is similar to other law enforcement channels on YouTube. All videos and case documents were obtained pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. (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.
