Drunk Beachgoer Arrested for Disorderly Conduct in Sea Bright, NJ

On June 17, 2023 around 6:24 PM, Patrolwoman Alexa Susino with the Sea Bright Police Department was dispatched to the Surfrider Beach Club at 931 Ocean Avenue for a report of an intoxicated male subject who had urinated on the beach. Upon arrival, the club members showed her the location of the cabana and informed her that the subject was not a member. Numerous members of the club had witnessed the subject urinating in public. As Patrolwoman Susino approached the cabana, she made contact with the subject, who was identified as Pascal. His girlfriend Julissa was also there with him.

Patrolwoman Susino informed him that he was on the beach club’s private property, and he could not be there. Patrolwoman Madison Taylor arrived on scene shortly afterwards to assist, and spoke with the other witnesses. After the officers interviewed several other witnesses, Pascal was informed that he would be placed under arrest. He was placed into custody by Special Officer Gandolfo and transported by Patrolwoman Taylor back to the Sea Bright Police Department. His girlfriend Julissa was given a courtesy transport back to the Sea Bright Police Department as well so that she could wait for her boyfriend to be processed.

At police headquarters, Patrolwomen Susino and Taylor worked on processing him and completing the paperwork related to this arrest. After they were finished with their paperwork, Pascal was released pending his court appearance. He was issued a summons for the following: Local Ordinance 91-2r (Urinating in Public), Local Ordinance 91-2m (Disorderly Person), and Disorderly Conduct (2C:33-2(a))

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.
