LACEY: Earlier in February, OCSN covered a story about a serious crash on East Lacey Road in Lacey. It involved entrapment, with the vehicle being overturned. Amazingly the driver was able to be rescued, and sustained minimal injuries. We didn’t hear much more on this story, until Lacey PD released their weekly police blotter. Ocean County Scanner News was able to learn this crash occurred because of a suspected intoxicated driver- as detailed in their blotter below. On Saturday, February 6, 2021, at 8:34 p.m., Officers Anthony Ravallo and SLEO II Chris Triano, responded to East Lacey Road for a report of an overturned vehicle with entrapment. Investigation at the scene revealed that Jessica Frandsen, 42, was traveling westbound on East Lacey Road when she collided with a parked vehicle. During the investigation, Jessica was deemed under the influence and arrested. She was later released after being charged with DWI and Reckless Driving.

A little further digging by OCSN (after being tipped off via our anonymous tip line) brought us to this discovery of the suspected influenced driver. The official police report states a Jessica Frandsen, 42 of was charged with DWI & Reckless Driving- and later released. So who is this suspected female? We have gathered intelligence that the suspect was or is a school social worker at Lacey Township High School. Easy internet searches yielded this public Linked In account for Jessica, along with her name and title still being listed on the Lacey Township school website. OCSN has included screen shots below of the various internet searches we were able to complete as of press time.

As always, ALL suspects charged with ANY crime remain innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. We hope residents of Lacey Township demand their Board of Education act on this personnel issue- if she gets convicted and/or sentenced in municipal court. If the suspect is found to be innocent, we hope the Lacey PD will release the court’s findings after the judge tries the case.
