Man Arrested for DWI at Over 4 TIMES LEGAL Limit in Red Bank, NJ

On June 26, 2024 around 1:55 PM, Patrolwoman Kristin Altimari with the Red Bank Police Department observed a driver of a 2012 Toyota Corolla using his phone while driving on W Front Street in the vicinity of Club Court. She initiated a traffic stop and made contact with the driver, who was later identified as 26-year-old Brian Lee. She asked for his driver’s license, but he initially provided her with a credit card instead. She told him that he was using a wireless device, driving without his seat belt, and he had a tail light that was not working. 
As she was speaking with Brian, she detected the odor of alcohol. Based on her suspicion of impairment, Brian was asked to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises. The field sobriety exercises included the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test, Walk and Turn test, and One Leg Stand test. He was unable to perform these tests in a satisfactory manner.
Based on his motor vehicle infractions, the indicators of impairment, and his inability to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises, Brian was placed under arrest for driving under the influence. After he was placed under arrest, his vehicle was impounded for a mandatory 12-hour hold under John’s Law. Another officer transported Brian to the Red Bank Police Department for further processing. 
At the station, he was read the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators and he agreed to submit breath samples for testing. His Alcotest results indicated a BAC level of 0.34% BAC, which was more than 4 times the legal limit of 0.08%. He was issued the following traffic tickets: Operating under the influence, reckless driving, careless driving, use of hand-held wireless telephones, failure to wear seat belt, and maintenance of lamps.
