Drunk Nurse Arrested for THIRD DWI After Crashing Into the Snow

Prior DWI Arrest:    • Entitled Nurse Crashes While Drunk and Tri...   On February 15, 2025 around 7:40 PM, Officer Michael O’Neill with the Millburn Township Police Department responded to a single vehicle crash on West Road in the vicinity of Windermere Terrace. He arrived on scene around 7:43 PM and noticed that a grey 2012 Honda had crashed into a snowbank and become disabled. He then made contact with the driver of the Honda, who was later identified as Cristina Then. Cristina was uncooperative and she claimed that was sitting inside the car. As the officers started speaking with her, they observed indicators of impairment. She admitted to consuming alcohol earlier that evening, but she claimed that she had a Fireball after crashing the car and that she was not under the influence at the time of the crash. Based on the officers’ suspicion of impairment, Cristina was asked to perform field sobriety exercises. Officer Gregory Crawn first administered the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. The officers attempted the Walk and Turn test next, but they ultimately terminated all field sobriety exercises due to her lack of cooperation. At this point, based on the motor vehicle crash, her indicators of impairment, and her inability to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises, Cristina was placed under arrest for operating under the influence. Her vehicle was impounded for a mandatory 12-hour hold under John’s Law. Cristina was initially transported to the Springfield Township Police Department for the administration of the Alcotest. Once the Alcotest was complete, Cristina was transported to the Millburn Township Police Department for further processing. After the officers finished processing her, she was cited for operating under the influence (39:4-50) and eventually released pending her court appearance after a sober adult signed the Potential Liability Warning form on her behalf. Court records indicate that on August 19, 2025, was found guilty of operating under the influence. As a result of her conviction, Cristina 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. Cristina had previously been arrested for driving while impaired in Union Township, New Jersey on January 14, 2023. Prior to that incident, she had been arrested for another DWI in Englewood, New Jersey on December 29, 2019. Cristina’s other arrests include the following instances: -Theft by unlawful taking (2C:20-3A) in Dumont, New Jersey on October 28, 2025 (later arrested on November 5, 2025) -Shoplifting (2C:20-11B(2)) in Dumont, New Jersey on February 19, 2025 (later arrested on March 13, 2025) -Criminal mischief (2C:17-3A(1)) and criminal trespass (2C:18-3A ) in Paterson, New Jersey on October 3, 2023 -Disorderly conduct (2C:33-2A(1)) and obstruction (2C:29-1A) in Seaside Heights, New Jersey on July 29, 2020 ------------------------------------------ Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).

North Jersey Media Group, 993 A.2d 778 (2010) that “The fair-report privilege reflects the judgment that the need, in a self-governing society, for free-flowing information about matters of public interest outweighs concerns over the uncompensated injury to a person's reputation.” This video advances a compelling public interest. The summary of events was based on records that are “open to public view through open access to public records” as defined in the Salzano case. In Ramos v. Flowers, 429 N.J.
