DWI Stops & Arrests in Newark, NJ
The fact that Newark is the largest city in New Jersey with a population of close to 278,000 in 2012 means that DWI arrests are commonplace. Moreover, Newark’s strategic location close to New York City makes it a major transportation hub with numerous highways that pass through and around the city including the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95), Interstate 280, the Garden State Parkway, I-78, U.S. Route 22, U.S. 1 & 9, Route 21. A combination of NJ State Troopers, Newark Police, and Port Authority Police heavily patrol these roads and the Holland Tunnel and Pulaski Skyway, resulting in an influx of DWI arrests. Meanwhile, local police cite residents on local roadways within the city as well as there have been a number of drunk driving incidents at the city limits at Route 510 and Board Street. In 2011, there were 27 car accident fatalities in Newark. Thirteen of these involved an intoxicated driver. If you are arrested for a DWI in Newark, your case will be heard in the Newark Municipal Court on Green Street. A DUI is not categorized as a crime in New Jersey – though the severe penalties you face would lead you to believe otherwise. In addition to a highly expensive financial outlay, you lose driving privileges, are required to stay at an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center and may spend up to 30 days in jail. This very serious traffic issue is in a category all its own, and skilled legal counsel can make a world of difference in the outcome.
