Long Valley Woman Arrested For DWI With Child In Car: Cops

LONG VALLEY, N.J. – A Long Valley woman was arrested Saturday after police say she was driving drunk with a minor in her car, Lt. Doug Compton announced.

At 7:55 p.m. on March 12, Officer Daniel Parrish was alerted to a possibly intoxicated driver traveling south on Schooley’s Mountain Road from Hackettstown, Compton said.

Parrish located the vehicle traveling east on Flocktown Road and conducted a motor vehicle stop. While speaking with the driver, later identified as Erinn Lazzara, 37, Parrish detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from inside the vehicle, Compton said. Lazzara was asked to perform field sobriety tests, which indicated she was impaired, Compton said.

Lazzara was placed under arrest and taken to Washington Township Police Headquarters and was issued complaints for driving while intoxicated, maintenance of lamps, failure to possess a valid registration, and driving while intoxicated with a minor present in a vehicle.

She was later released to a responsible adult and given a court date.
