Drunk Bartender Crashes at TRIPLE the Limit and Tries to Flee

Third DWI:    • Drunk Girl Arrested for THIRD DWI at TRIPL...   On December 14, 2024 around 2:42 AM, Patrolman Hunter Vojtko with the Belmar Police Department was on patrol in the vicinity of Ocean Avenue and North Boulevard when he observed 2 vehicles traveling south on Ocean Avenue into the neighboring town of Spring Lake. Steven Sanchez, the driver of a red van, informed him that the vehicle in front had struck him and that he was following them because they were attempting to flee. Patrolman Vojtko then closed the gap between his vehicle and the suspect vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. The suspect vehicle, later determined to be a blue 2005 Toyota Camry, pulled over on Ocean Avenue in the vicinity of Monroe Avenue. He exited his patrol car and initiated contact with the driver, who was identified as Alexandria Castillo. As he was speaking with Alexandria, he detected the odor of alcohol and observed other indicators of impairment. He also observed damage to the passenger side of her vehicle and a red paint transfer consistent with a recent collision. Alexandria told him that she was headed back home after leaving a “Mexican place” where she had consumed 2 IPAs. Based on his suspicion of impairment, Patrolman Vojtko asked Alexandria to perform field sobriety exercises. He started with the Walk and Turn test, but terminated the tests when he realized that she would be unable to complete any of the field sobriety exercises. Based on the motor vehicle crash, the odor of alcohol, her admission to consuming alcohol, and her inability to perform any field sobriety exercises, Alexandria was placed under arrest for operating under the influence. Her vehicle was impounded for a mandatory 12-hour hold under John’s Law. Alexandria was transported to the Belmar Police Department for further processing. The Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators was read to her, and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC level of 0.237%, which was approximately triple the legal limit of 0.08%. Once they finished processing her, Alexandria stated that she did not want to call anyone to come and take responsibility for her. As a result, the officers had to hold her at the station until she was sober enough to be released. After about 15 hours in a holding cell, Alexandria was released. Patrolman Erik Leib escorted Alexandria back to her car around 6:10 PM and allowed her to drive away in her own car. Alexandria was issued the following citations: -Operating under the influence (39:4-50) -Reckless driving (39:4-97) -Careless driving (39:4-96) -Failure to possess driver insurance card (39:3-29C) -Leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury (39:4-129A) -Failure to report an accident (39:4-130) -Violation of restrictions on a provisional driver’s license (39:3-13.4) Court records indicate that on February 11, 2026, Alexandria was found guilty of operating under the influence. As a result of her conviction, Alexandria had to use an ignition interlock device for 12 months, spend 12 hours at an intoxicated driver resource center, and pay a total of $690 in fines. The other 6 citations were dismissed as part of a plea agreement. Alexandria’s prior arrests include the following instances: -Simple assault (2C:12-1A(1)) in Cliffside Park, NJ on March 11, 2019 -Operating under the influence (39:4-50) in Brick Township, NJ on February 7, 2024 Following this incident, Alexandria was arrested again for DWI in Lambertville, NJ on April 12, 2026. In addition to being cited for DWI, she was cited for failure to install an ignition interlock device (39:4-50.19). Her DWI case from Lambertville is still pending in court as of October 23, 2026. -------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).
