Madison Woman Accused Of Driving Drunk In School Zone

FLORHAM PARK, NJ — A Madison woman is accused of driving drunk near a Florham Park elementary school last week, Florham Park police said.

Early morning on Aug. 7, police say they saw a car veer off Brookline Road and strike garbage cans. Police pulled the car over, and could smell alcohol while talking to the driver.

The driver, Christine M. Fico, 29, of Madison, was arrested and taken to police headquarters. There, she was given a breath test and police say it showed she was too impaired to drive a car.

Fico was charged with DWI, DWI within 1000 feet of a school, reckless driving, failure to maintain a lane, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to report an accident and carless driving. She was released to a responsible adult with an upcoming court date.
