Drunk Teacher Crashes at OVER DOUBLE the Limit After Getting her Hair Done

Around 3:13 PM on March 22, 2023, Sergeant Joseph Barnicle with the Shrewsbury Police Department was contacted by Patrolman Randy Boehler on a report of a motor vehicle accident. Patrolman Boehler had been flagged down by the driver of a silver 2022 Mitsubishi on Broad Street, who told him that that she had been struck by the driver of a white Porsche. The Porsche allegedly struck the southbound driver on the side while exiting from a parking lot onto Broad Street just north of White Road. The motorist was able to provide the officer with a picture of the other vehicle as well as the license plate, and she told the officers that the vehicle had pulled into the parking lot of The Grove.

Sergeant Barnicle later headed over to the parking lot of The Grove to locate the suspect vehicle. He eventually located a white 2020 Porsche matching the license plate that the other motorist had provided him with. He exited his patrol car and made contact with the driver of the Porsche, and she was eventually identified as Nicole Husar. Sergeant Barnicle asked Nicole if she had been in an accident. As Nicole opened the door to the vehicle, he immediately detected the odor of alcohol and observed other indicators of impairment. Based on his suspicion of impairment, he asked Nicole to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises.

Sergeant Barnicle started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test. During the HGN test, Sergeant Barnicle observed the lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, and the onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. He also observed vertical nystagmus, indicating a high degree of intoxication. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn Test. During the Walk and Turn test, Nicole did not touch heel-to-toe on each step while turning improperly. The third exercise was the One Leg Stand test, and Nicole did not raise her foot in the proper fashion while putting her foot down before the test was complete.

Based on the motor vehicle accident, the odor of alcohol, and her inability to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises, Nicole was placed under arrest for DWI. A search of her vehicle incident to arrest yielded a clear plastic cup containing white wine inside the center console. Sergeant Barnicle transported Nicole to the Shrewsbury Police for further processing. At the station, Nicole was read the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC level of 0.184%, which was more than double the legal limit of 0.08%.

Nicole was issued the following citations:

-Operating under the influence (39:4-50)

-Reckless driving (39:4-96)

-Careless driving (39:4-97)

-Following too closely (39:4-89)

-Traffic on marked lanes (38:4-88)

-Open container (39:4-51B)

Prior to this DWI in Shrewsbury, Nicole had been cited for failure to report an accident and leaving the scene of an accident in Long Branch, New Jersey on March 2, 2023. Nicole was later arrested again for her second DWI at over triple the legal limit (0.287%) in Highlands, New Jersey on August 19, 2025.

The New Jersey Supreme Court has previously affirmed in Salzano v.
