Asleep at the Wheel

On January 25th, 2014 at 1:05 AM, the Readington Twp. Police observed a stationary vehicle at the intersection of US Hwy 22 west and Oldwick Rd. The vehicle remained stationary through a traffic light cycle and was stopped well past the stop line. Sgt. DeWire approched the vehicle and found the driver, William Richold, 42, of Raritan Twp, asleep with the vehicle still in drive, the doors locked and the drivers foot on the brake. After taking precautions so that the vehicle would not be able to travel forward out of control, the driver was woken up and the vehicle was placed in park. Sgt. DeWire detected an odor of an alcohol beverage and saw signs of intoxication. Sobriety tests were done and Mr. Richold was arrested for DUI. He was later charged with DUI and obstructing the flow of traffic. He was released to family.
