HACKETTSTOWN, NJ — A Hackettstown police officer discovered an unoccupied vehicle creating a traffic hazard early Tuesday. The vehicle was positioned unstable across the solid white fog line on Willow Grove Street. Empty Coors beer bottles were found inside the vehicle.
Attempts to contact the vehicle’s registered owner at their residence were not successful. While awaiting a tow truck, an Uber driver brought the vehicle’s driver, William D. Ramos, 27, of Independence Township, NJ. Ramos was reportedly returning with a gas can, having run out of fuel.
Further investigation determined that Ramos was under the influence of alcohol. He has been charged with driving while intoxicated and improper parking. Ramos has been released pending a court appearance.
