Driver stopped vehicle and passed out; charged with DWI

PARSIPPANY — While patrolling at 2:39 a.m. on Sunday, July 16 the area of Route 46 near South Beverwyck Road, Patrol Officer J. Hughes observed a motorist waving at him and pointing to a vehicle stopped next to him on South Beverwyck Road at the intersection of Route 46.

Officer Hughes proceeded to the vehicles location and observed that the driver, Galdino Evaristo-Pantaleon, 24, Parsippany, appeared to be passed out behind the wheel.

After stopping his vehicle behind the 2007 Ford Explorer, it took Officer Hughes multiple attempts to wake Mr. Evaristo-Pantaleon by knocking on the window and yelling at him through the closed door.

Once he was woken up by the Officer, a brief investigation was conducted.

Mr. Evaristo-Pantaleon was placed under arrest for Driving While Intoxicated and transported to Police Headquarters. While there, he was charged with traffic summonses for Driving While Intoxicated; Reckless Driving and Unlicensed Driver.

He was released on his own recognizance pending his court date.

Editors Note: A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. Despite this accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
