Two women arrested for DWI during bizarre back-to-back stops on Route 138

WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ — A routine overnight traffic stop turned into a double arrest early Wednesday after two friends were separately taken into custody for driving while intoxicated on the same stretch of Route 138.

Around 1:40 a.m., Wall Township Patrolman Wheeler stopped a vehicle near Brinley Road and arrested the driver, 41-year-old Kristina M. Rosecrans of Wrightstown, for Driving While Intoxicated. While officers were processing the scene, a second vehicle pulled up — driven by 36-year-old Mackenzie E. Lamb of Allentown, who police say was there to assist her friend.

Instead, Lamb ended up joining her in custody.

According to Wall Township Police, Lamb appeared intoxicated and ignored officers’ instructions not to get back in her vehicle. She was arrested shortly after by Patrolman Phillips on charges of Obstruction, Resisting Arrest, and DWI.

Both women were transported to Wall Township Police Headquarters for processing and later released in accordance with John’s Law, which mandates that individuals arrested for DWI be held until a sober party takes responsibility for them.

The incident marks one of 99 DWI arrests made by Wall Township Police since Memorial Day Weekend — with 12 taking place in just the past week, according to department figures.

Officials continue to urge the public to make smart choices before getting behind the wheel, especially heading into the Labor Day holiday period.
