Police: Drunk driver in New Jersey was searching for New Jersey

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Dec. 8 (UPI) — Police said a woman searching for New Jersey didn’t realize she was already in the state because of her other state — intoxication.

Port Authority police said an officer approached Karol Andino, 31, after she stopped her 2000 Volkswagen Beetle near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City around 2:30 a.m. Saturday and got out of the vehicle.

The department said Andino repeatedly told the officer she was “looking for New Jersey,” despite being assured that she was already in the Garden State.

The officer determined Andino’s eyes were red and watery and the suspect admitted she “had a few drinks” before driving.

A Breathalyzer test indicated Andino’s blood alcohol content was .25 — more than three times the .08 legal limit for driving.

Andino was charged with driving while intoxicated and careless driving.
