N.J. sheriff’s officer allegedly left drunken crash scene during state of emergency

An officer with the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office faces multiple charges after she allegedly tried to leave the scene of a drunken crash in her private vehicle during a storm that produced widespread flooding last summer. Sandy Perez, 45, was arrested after she drove over a median and struck a sign in South Plainfield on July 14, according to court records and body-worn camera video.
