Repeat DWI Offender Caught Driving with Suspended License AGAIN

Her SECOND DWI Arrest

Her THIRD DWI Arrest

Driving while suspended in Highlands

Around 10:45 PM on June 14, 2023, Officer Thomas Wagner with the Aberdeen Township Police Department stopped a 2019 Honda on Highway 35 North. He proceeded to make contact with the driver, who was identified as 41-year-old Joelle Casale. He asked her for her license, registration, and insurance. Joelle provided him with all the requested documentation.

As Officer Wagner returned to his patrol car to run her information through the system, he was alerted that her license was suspended because she did not complete a court-mandated program. She also had notices from multiple courts across the state for failure to appear. Despite her history of multiple DWIs, no field sobriety tests were administered.

After Officer Wagner ran Joelle’s information, he decided to not arrest her or impound the vehicle. Joelle was issued a summons for driving with a suspended license and told to find a ride home. Court records currently indicate a “failure to appear” for this summons.

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.
