1. On September 25th, 2023, members of the Guttenberg Police Department’s Patrol Division located a male who
appeared to be under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, dancing in the middle of Park Avenue in the rain. The male
was in the roadway with oncoming traffic, and visibility was extremely poor due to the rain. Officers spoke with the
male, attempting to have him move off the roadway to prevent an accident. The male failed to move out of the roadway
and dodged oncoming vehicles. At that time, officers arrested 56-year-old Derek M. McCabe of Guttenberg, NJ, for
disorderly conduct [2C:33-2]. While officers attempted to handcuff Mr. McCabe, he resisted arrest and was also charged
with resisting arrest [2C:29-2]. Once secured, Mr. McCabe was walked into the Guttenberg Police Department for his
arrest processing. Upon the completion of his arrest processing, Mr. McCabe was issued his complaint summons and
released from police custody.

Our officers were also informed that the driver of that vehicle appeared to be asleep. As officers approached, the vehicle
began driving westbound on 70th Street, where officers were eventually able to conduct a motor vehicle stop. During the
motor vehicle stop, officers arrested 44-year-old Steven V. Reyes of Fairview, NJ, for driving while intoxicated [39:4-50].
