A New Jersey state trooper was charged with drunk driving after rear-ending an Audi at a Garden State Parkway service area, State Police said.
Sfc. Michael Roadside, who has been with the State Police for 28 years, was suspended without pay after the incident on Monday afternoon at the Monmouth Service Area in Wall Township. He was charged with DWI, careless driving, and having an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle according to State Police, who responded to the accident scene.
Sfc. Gregory Williams told New Jersey 101.5 Roadside was on duty, and still in uniform when the crash occurred. He was immediately relieved of his duty weapon and taken into custody, State Police said.
Addiction is a horrible thing. Twenty-eight years… He’ll probably lose everything – pension, etc. He should be thankful that he didn’t cause any injuries, or worst.
My goodness you would think & hope a cop would know better & on duty no less!! Very scary to think about. An on duty cop drunk!!!
28 years on the job, how many of them while on the job? Any tickets, traffic stops, arrest, may all be compromised now as a result.
I hope the person who he hit doesn’t get run around.
28 years on the job, how many of them sober? Any tickets, traffic stops, arrest, may all be compromised now as a result.
What a pleasant thought: Drunkard with a badge. And gun. Glad he was suspended.
