Drunk Dentist Making Half a Million a Year Crashes her Porsche in Front of a Bar

Around 12:52 AM on December 28, 2025, Sergeant Dustin Widas with the Margate City Police Department responded to a report of motor vehicle accident in front of Tomatoe’s (9300 Amherst Avenue). He spoke with the bouncers, who confirmed that a female had gotten behind the wheel of a white 2024 Porsche Macan and backed into a white 2024 Buick Envista. The driver was identified as Allison Seigel, who is a practicing dentist.

Allison offered conflicting accounts of who was driving the Porsche, before eventually admitting that she drove the vehicle. As he was speaking with Allison, he observed indicators of impairment. Allison admitted to consuming alcohol prior to operating a motor vehicle. Based on his suspicion of impairment, Allison was asked to perform field sobriety exercises. Her poor performance on the field sobriety exercises confirmed the officers’ suspicions of impairment.

Based on the motor vehicle crash, her admission to consuming alcohol earlier that evening, and her inability to satisfactorily complete the field sobriety exercises, Allison was placed under arrest for DWI. Her vehicle was impounded by Providence Towing for a 12-hour hold according to John’s Law. Officer Hankinson transported Allison to the Margate City Police Department for further processing.

At the station, the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators was read to her, but she refused to submit breath samples. She later mentioned that she made half a million dollars a year as a dentist and that her vehicle was worth $70,000. After they finished processing her, Allison was eventually released to Francis Terry pending her court appearance after he signed the Potential Liability Warning form on Allison’s behalf.

Officer Hankinson issued Allison the following traffic tickets:

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

-Refusal to submit to chemical test (39:4-50.4A)

-Reckless driving (39:4-96)

Court records indicate that on April 13, 2026, Allison pleaded guilty to operating under the influence. As a result of her conviction, Allison had to spend 12 hours at an intoxicated driver resource center, use an ignition interlock device for 3 months, and pay a total of $640 in fines. The other 2 citations were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

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.
