Drunk Woman With Wine in the Car Seat Arrested for DWI

Second DWI Arrest

Around 11:49 PM on October 23, 2023, officers with the Spotswood Police Department received a report of a vehicle that was driving recklessly. Patrolman Nicholas Camarda and Patrolman Dominik Skibniewski observed a white 2018 Nissan Altima matching the caller’s description, and the vehicle was headed westbound on Main Street. The vehicle was speeding and swerving across lanes, so they initiated a traffic stop. Patrolman Camarda approached the vehicle on the driver side and made contact with the driver, who was soon identified as Erin Guezze.

Patrolman Skibniewski detected the odor of alcohol and observed what appeared to be a cup of wine inside the cup holder of a car seat. She later told the officers that she heading home from her job at the Hilton hotel in Princeton. Based on their suspicions of impairment, Erin was asked to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises.

Patrolman Skibniewski started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. During the HGN test, Patrolman Skibniewski observed 2/6 indicators of impairment. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Erin failed to touch heel-to-toe on each step and turned improperly. The final exercise was the One Leg Stand test. During the One Leg Stand test, Erin failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion and put her foot down before the test was complete.

Based on her indicators of impairment, the odor of alcohol, and her inability to satisfactorily complete the field sobriety exercises, Erin was placed under arrest for driving under the influence. Her vehicle was impounded for a mandatory 12-hour hold under John’s Law. Erin was transported by Patrolman Camarda to the Spotswood Police Department for further processing.

At the Spotswood Police Department, Erin was read the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators, and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC level of 0.09%, which was above the legal limit of 0.08%. After they finished processing her, Erin was eventually released to a friend pending her court appearance after she signed the Potential Liability Warning form on Erin’s behalf.

Patrolman Skibniewski issued Erin the following traffic citations:

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

-Reckless driving (39:4-96)

-Careless driving (39:4-97)

-Traffic on marked lanes (39:4-88)

-Failure to observe signals, signs, or directions (39:4-215)

-Open container (39:4-51B)

Court records indicate that on April 9, 2024, Erin was found guilty of operating under the influence. As a result of her conviction, Erin had to use an ignition interlock device for 3 months, spend 12 hours at an intoxicated driver resource center, and pay a total of $690 in fines. The other 5 citations were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

Following this arrest in Spotswood, New Jersey, Erin was later arrested again on charges of simple assault (2C:12-1A(1)) and criminal mischief (2C:17-3A(1)) in West Windsor, New Jersey on December 9, 2024. Following that arrest, Erin was arrested yet again for her second DWI in Plainsboro Township, New Jersey on March 30, 2026.

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