Her speeding ticket
Her texting and driving
Around 1:15 AM on August 7, 2022, Sergeant Gary Borbidge of the Evesham Police Department observed a 2018 BMW driving erratically on Tuckerton Road. He stopped the vehicle after it turned on to Longhurst Road. As he approached the vehicle, he detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage and observed a six pack of Smirnoff under the passenger seat with 2 bottles missing. Officer Isaiha Rose later responded to the scene of a possibly intoxicated driver in the area of Longhurst Road and N Elmwood Road, and the investigation was turned over to him. The driver, 26-year-old Angelique Pappas, told Officer Rose that she was coming from a nearby bar and admitted to having consumed alcohol earlier. Since her speech was slurred and the officer detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage, he afforded her an opportunity to perform field sobriety exercises.
Angelique agreed to perform the exercises, and the first exercise involved the Walk and Turn test. She was unable to maintain her starting position or take heel-to-toe steps while counting out loud. The second exercise involved the One Leg Stand test. During this test, Angelique was unable keep her foot 6 inches off the ground as instructed and she kept swinging her arms to balance. The final exercise was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. During this test, Sergeant Borbidge observed a lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, and the onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes.
Based on her traffic infractions, erratic driving patterns, and her inability to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises, Officer Rose placed Angelique under arrest for driving under the influence. She was transported to the Evesham Police Headquarters, where she was read her Miranda rights. Afterwards, Sergeant Borbidge read her the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators and she initially agreed to provide breath samples, but later refused when she he attempted to escort her to the Alcotest machine.
After Angelique was processed, she was released to her mother after she signed the Potential Liability Warning form on her behalf. She was issued the following summonses: Operating under the influence, refusal to submit to chemical breath testing, reckless driving, and failure to provide proof of insurance.
Court records indicate that on October 27, 2022, Angelique pleaded guilty to operating under the influence, and she was fined $1,390, along with a sentence of 2 days in jail, 30 days of community service, 2 years of ignition interlock device usage, and 48 hours at an intoxicated driver resource center. The citations for refusal to submit to chemical breath testing, reckless driving, and failure to provide proof of insurance were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.

Our content is educational and 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. 2001, c. 404). 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.
