Wayne NJ Drunk Driving AttorneysA Wayne NJ man was placed under arrest this week after he was reportedly bused for drunk driving in Oakland, New Jersey.

Motorists on the road reportedly saw the suspect driving erratically near the intersection of Franklin Avenue and Ramapo Valley Road in Oakland NJ, so they dialed 911 and alerted Oakland Police Department.

According to law enforcement officials, the suspect’s vehicle had sustained noticeable damage to a passenger-side mirror as a result of crashing into a mailbox.
