Cop’s Sister TOTALS Jeep before SECOND DWI Arrest

Around 2:33 AM on August 28, 2023, Patrolman Christian Nelson with the Red Bank Police Department initially responded to a report of a motor vehicle crash at the intersection of Broad Street and White Street. As he arrived on scene, he observed that a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee had struck a bollard blocking vehicle traffic from entering that portion of Broad Street. As he made contact with the driver, who was later identified as 31-year-old Emily Wilson, he observed that the airbags had deployed and the vehicle appeared to be a total loss.

Emily admitted to drinking before operating a motor vehicle, and asked the officers to not charge her with a second DWI. A few minutes afterwards, Patrolman Jhonatan Quispe arrived on scene and Patrolman Nelson told him that she was “admittedly 4-50” (indicating a DWI case). First responders with Hackensack Meridian Health also arrived on scene to evaluate her, but Emily declined medical attention. After confirming that Emily was refusing medical attention, Patrolman Quispe began administering field sobriety exercises.

The first field sobriety exercise was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test, and Emily was unable to walk in a straight line or maintain her balance. Patrolman Quispe asked Emily if she wished to perform the One Leg Stand test as well, but she told him that she would not be able to perform the test.

Based on the traffic accident and her inability to adequately complete the field sobriety exercises, Patrolman Quispe placed Emily under arrest for driving under the influence. A search of her vehicle revealed unopened bottles of liquor Emily was transported by Patrolman Nelson to the Red Bank Police Department for processing.

At Red Bank Police HQ, Patrolman Quispe read Emily her Constitutional rights and she responded by stating that she wanted a lawyer. Afterwards, he read Emily the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators, and she eventually agreed to provide breath samples.

Emily’s Alcotest results indicated a BAC of 0.266%, which is more than triple the legal limit of 0.08%.

After Emily completed the breathalyzer test, she was permitted to make phone calls in an attempt to find someone to take responsibility for her. After she was processed, Patrolman Quispe cited Emily for operating under the influence according to NJ Rev Stat § 39:4-50. Court records indicate that Emily was previously cited for driving under the influence in Eatontown, New Jersey on November 13, 2014.

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.
