A New Jersey woman "looking for New Jersey" faces a charge of driving while intoxicated after encountering police near the Holland Tunnel entrance in New Jersey.
Port Authority police spotted a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle stop at the intersection of 13th and Provost streets in Jersey City at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday and watched as a woman got out of the car.
The woman, 31-year-old Karol Andino, of North Bergen, told the officer she was "looking for New Jersey," a police official said. She was unsteady on her feet and admitted that she "had a few drinks," police said. She was advised that she was already in New Jersey.
Andino failed a sobriety test and a Breathalyzer test indicated that she had a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit, police said.
In addition to DWI, Andino was charged with careless driving. There was no indication she had obtained a lawyer who could comment on the charges.
