Woman Who Refused To Stop Honking Charged By Hoboken PD

CLARK, NJ — A woman from Clark was arrested last Friday and charged with drunk driving after incessantly honking her car horn, police said.

The woman, Janet Tung, 41, first caught the attention of officer Tyrone Huggins at around 6 p.m. while driving in bumper-to-bumper traffic in Hoboken, close to 2n and Garden street continuously honking. Huggins gave her a verbal warning but she did not stop.

Huggins approached Tung signaling again for her to stop improperly using the horn. Because of traffic, the driver did not go far and eventually came to a stop at 127 Garden Street.

Tung would not roll down the window for three minutes and Huggins suspected her of being intoxicated, according to police.

Another officer, Anthony Rutkowski, arrived to assist and put Tung through a sobriety test. He found that she was not able to safely drive and arrested her.

Tung was taken to police headquarters, where she refused to submit herself to a chemical test. She was charged with eluding, driving while intoxicated, refusal to submit to chemical testing, reckless driving, and improper use of horn, and was released to a responsible party.
