Dear Peapack & Gladstone Borough,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

I am requesting the BWC footage from the following incident listed on the police blotter:

On June 12, 2025, at 11:53pm Officer Nicole Kaneshige was clearing a motor vehicle stop on Rt. 206 when her attention was drawn to a SUV blocking Old Dutch Road East in Bedminster Twp. Officer Kaneshige checked on the vehicle and initially it appeared that there was no occupant. Upon walking to the vehicle Ofc. Kaneshige observed a female unconscious sitting in the driver seat. After several moments the female individual awoke and appeared confused. While speaking with the occupant, later identified as Celia J. Peri, 23-year-old-female from Chester, NJ, Ofc. Kaneshige detected the odor of alcohol emitting from within the vehicle as well as several High Noon Hard Seltzer cans on the passenger side floor. Peri was asked to exit the vehicle where she was asked to perform several field sobriety checks. Upon conducting the tests, it was determined that Peri was under the influence of alcohol. Peri was placed under arrest and transported to Police Headquarters where she was offered a breath test. Once the breath test was completed, Peri’s Blood Alcohol Concentration was twice the legal limit. Peri was issued summonses for driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, careless driving, and consumption of alcohol in a motor vehicle. Peri was then issued a court date and released to a responsible party. NOTE: The charges are merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours faithfully,
