A New York man was charged with driving under the influence and hindering apprehension after New Jersey State Police responded to a 911 call from a child in the car.
A 12-year-old in the car phoned police when his mother, also a passenger, became ill. When police stopped the car on the New Jersey Turnpike in Secaucus, the driver provided them with a false name leading to a charge of hindering apprehension.
In New Jersey, hindering apprehension is a second degree crime, which carries a possible prison sentence of between five and ten years.
