On Saturday (8/18), between the hours of 10 pm and 3 am, the New Jersey State Police paid a very productive visit to Route 37 in Toms River.  Troopers set up a DUI checkpoint on Route 37 westbound in front of the Pisces Seafood Restaurant.  Within the five (5) hour detail, Troopers charged 9 individuals with Driving Under the Influence (DUI), arrested one (1) fugitive from justice and interacted with approximately 400 vehicles spreading the #DriveResponsibly message.


We here at OCSN have successfully retrieved the OPRA request from the 8 out of 9 DWI Arrests. NJSP would not say why the ninth was held up, but did ask us to OPRA that case at a later date. Anyway, without further fanfare- here are the results of the 8 people arrested for DWI that evening.
