Driver arrested for DWI in Knoll County Club

PARSIPPANY — At approximately 6:00 p.m. on Friday, September 22, Parsippany-Troy Hills Patrol Officers were dispatched to the Knoll Country Club to investigate a reported disturbance occurring in a vehicle, which was later identified as a 2002 Ford Explorer.

Patrol Officer Scott Baker observed the vehicle pass him at which time he turned around and located the vehicle parked, occupied, and running in a lane of travel between the parking lanes of the Knoll East Country Club.

He initiated a motor vehicle stop on the vehicle and made contact with the driver and sole occupant, Crystal Trapasso, 49, Boonton.

After a brief investigation it was determined that she had verbal argument with her passenger. While speaking to Mrs. Trapasso outside her vehicle, Patrol Officer Marc Fernandez observed an open container of vodka and wine in plain view inside the vehicle. She was also found to be in possession of greater than five doses of a prescription legend drug without a prescription (Trazodone).

She was placed under arrest and transported to police headquarters for processing. While there she was charged with one count of 4th Degree Possession of Greater than five Doses of a Prescription Legend Drug without a Prescription; Driving While Intoxicated; Delaying Traffic; Open or Unsealed Alcoholic Beverage in a Motor Vehicle.

She was released on her own recognizance pending her 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.
