Rich and Entitled Woman Arrested for DWI at OVER DOUBLE the Limit

Around 1:02 AM on September 14, 2025, Officers Michael Freeman, Edwin Sherman, and Peter Bernhard with the Waldwick Police Department were dispatched to the parking lot of Walgreens at 72 Crescent Avenue on a report of a suspicious vehicle. Officer Sherman first arrived on scene and made contact with the driver of a 2022 Jeep, which was improperly parked on an angle over 3 parking spaces. The driver identified herself as Allison Anderson, but initially refused Officer Sherman’s orders to exit the vehicle.

Officer Sherman informed Allison that they received a call about a suspicious vehicle. As he was speaking with Allison, he suspected that Allison may be impaired. Officer Freeman then took over and asked Allison to exit the vehicle multiple times before she eventually complied. During their interaction, Allison mentioned that she knew a police officer in Wyckoff, and mentioned that she had a PBA card. Based on the officers’ suspicion of impairment, Allison was asked to perform field sobriety exercises.

The first exercise was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Allison failed to touch heel-to-toe on each step, turned improperly, and took an incorrect number of steps. The final exercise was the One Leg Stand test, and Allison failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion.

Based on the odor of alcohol and her inability to satisfactorily complete the field sobriety exercises, Allison was placed under arrest for DWI. A search of her vehicle incident to arrest revealed a cup containing what appeared to be an alcoholic beverage. Officer Sherman transported Allison to the Waldwick Police Department for further processing.

At the station, the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators was read to her, and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC level of 0.20%, which was more than double the legal limit of 0.08%. After they finished processing Allison, the officers gave her a ride home.

Officer Freeman issued Allison the following traffic tickets:

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

-Reckless driving (39:4-96)

-Careless driving (39:4-97)

-Open container (39:4-51B)

-Parking and movement on public and private property (Ordinance 91-35)

As of January 2, 2026, Allison’s case is still pending in court.

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.
