41:06Now PlayingAround 9:44 PM on February 9, 2026, Officer Mamdouh Hassan with the Hanover Township Police Department responded to the area of Route 10 West and Brook Hollow Drive on a report of a motor vehicle accident. He arrived on scene and noticed that a gray 2024 Honda Civic had sustained severe damages after colliding with a snow plow vehicle that was owned by Arctic Services LLC. The operator of the snow plow, 24-year-old Andrew Olveira, told Officer Mamdouh that the driver of the Honda Civic was “flying” and that she struck him at a high rate of speed while headed westbound on Route 10. He then made contact with the driver of the Honda Civic, who was eventually identified as Megan Maxwell.
Megan said that she was coming from the Chimney Rock Inn, where she had gone for dinner with her boyfriend. She was following her boyfriend home, and her boyfriend had pulled over in front of her car after she crashed into the snow plow. Megan admitted to consuming a few drinks earlier that evening. Based on the officers’ suspicion of impairment, Megan was asked to perform field sobriety exercises. Officer Foesel administered the field sobriety exercises, and Megan’s poor performance confirmed the officers’ suspicion of impairment.
Based on the motor vehicle crash, her indicators of impairment, the odor of alcohol, and her inability to satisfactorily complete the field sobriety exercises, Megan was placed under arrest for DWI. Her vehicle was impounded for a 12-hour hold according to John’s Law. Her boyfriend was also asked to perform field sobriety exercises since he admitted to drinking earlier that day.
Officer Hassan then transported Megan to the Hanover Township Police Department for further processing. The Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators was read to her in the patrol car, and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC level of 0.242%, which was more than triple legal limit of 0.08%. After they finished processing her, she was released to her boyfriend Joseph Stumpf pending her court appearance after he signed the Potential Liability Warning form on Megan behalf.
Officer Hassan issued Megan the following citations:
-Operating under the influence (39:5-50)
-Reckless driving (39:4-96)
-Careless driving (39:4-97)
-Following too closely (39:4-89)
On June 8, 2026, Megan pleaded guilty to operating under the influence. As a result of her conviction, Megan had to use an ignition interlock device for 3 months, spend 12 hours at an intoxicated driver resource center, and pay a total of $640 in fines. The other 3 citations were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

We are 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.
