Woman Passed Out Drunk in Aberdeen WaWa Parking Lot, Police Say

Aberdeen Township, NJ - A local woman was found passed out in her car — with the engine running — in the parking lot of the Cliffwood Beach WaWa, and was arrested and charged with drunk driving, Aberdeen Township police said.

On Nov. 23, the day before Thanksgiving, officers were called to the WaWa on Rt. 35 for a call of a woman passed out in her vehicle. Upon arrival, the officer found her in her car in a travel lane of the parking lot, apparently unconscious, with the engine running and in gear.

After she was roused, she exhibited signs of intoxication and was taken into custody, Aberdeen Police Chief John Powers told Patch. The woman, 34, of Aberdeen, was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, and other motor vehicle violations. In March of this year, a Freehold woman was arrested for doing heroin in her car in the parking lot of that same WaWa. Heroin and needles were found on her.
