Drunk Morristown Councilwoman Was Driving Unregistered Car, Police Say

MORRISTOWN, NJ — A Morristown councilwoman was arrested last month on a driving while intoxicated charge, police say.

Councilwoman Toshiba Foster was charged with driving while intoxicated and faces other motor vehicle offenses, according to the Denville Police Department.

On Sept. 6, around 10:30 p.m., a Denville police officer ran a random license plate check on a Foster’s car, which was traveling on Route 53.

The license plate check found that the car was unregistered, and the officer pulled Foster over on Route 53, police said.

Authorities said that during the traffic stop, it was determined that Foster was driving while drunk.

She was arrested and processed by the Denville police, charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, careless driving, and driving an unregistered vehicle.

Foster was later released to await court proceedings.

A report from The Morris NewsBee said that Foster is represented by Morristown attorney Terry Webb. Webb told the NewsBee that Foster has pleaded not guilty to her charges.

“Toshiba Foster was issued motor vehicle tickets. Pursuant to her constitutional right to be presumed innocent she has pled not guilty. We are confident that the traffic matter will be justly resolved,” Webb told the NewsBee.

Patch has reached out to Foster for comment, but has not heard back at this time.

The Democrat is currently seeking reelection to the council come November.
