Extremely Intoxicated Woman Blows Almost 4 TIMES LEGAL LIMIT After Crashing her Bronco

Описание: Around 7:23 PM on June 20, 2024, Officer Ryan Champouillon with the Asbury Park Police Department responded to report of a motor vehicle accident in the vicinity of Fourth Avenue and Grand Avenue. He arrived on scene and observed that a 2023 Ford Bronco had struck a 2024 Buick LeSabre. He made contact with the driver of the Bronco, who was identified as Marissa Falco. He then made contact with the driver of the Buick to get his information.

As he returned to speak with Marissa, he detected the odor of alcohol and observed indicators of impairment. Marissa denied consuming alcohol earlier that day, but it was obvious that she was impaired. Based on the officers’ suspicion of impairment, Marissa was asked to perform field sobriety exercises.

Officer Champouillon started with the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Marissa did not touch heel-to-toe on each step, turned improperly, and displayed a lack of balance. The final exercise was the One Leg Stand test. During the One Leg Stand test, Marissa failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion, did not count in the correct sequence, and put her foot down before the test was complete.

Based on her motor vehicle crash, the odor of alcohol, and her inability to satisfactorily complete the field sobriety exercises, Marissa was placed under arrest for DWI. After she was placed under arrest, her vehicle was impounded for a 12-hour hold according to John’s Law. The other person’s vehicle also sustained disabling damages.

Marissa was first transported by Officer Champouillon to the Neptune Township Police Department for further processing. She was read Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators, and she agreed to submit breath samples. Officer Richard Brogley administered the Alcotest machine and her Alcotest results indicated a BAC of 0.30%, which was almost 4 times the legal limit of 0.08%. After they were finished processing Marissa, she was released to her sister pending her court appearance after she signed the Potential Liability Warning on Marissa’s behalf.

Officer Champouillon issued Marissa the following traffic citations:
-Operating under the influence (39:4-50)
-Careless driving (39:4-97)

Court records indicate that Marissa has a prior DWI arrest from Ocean Township, New Jersey on May 7, 2011.

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.
