To the Records Custodian, Edgewater Police Department (Borough of Edgewater):
Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA), N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., I request copies of the following public records concerning the law-enforcement response, investigation, and arrest described below.
Case details for record identification:
Defendant: Priscilla Medina.
Investigating agency: Edgewater Police Department (Borough of Edgewater)
Jurisdiction / case title: State of New Jersey v. Priscilla Medina (Bergen County / Edgewater Municipal Court).
Timeline: Date not stated in available material.
Specific circumstances: This request concerns a driving-while-intoxicated and leaving-the-scene arrest in Edgewater involving a Tesla Model X driven by Priscilla Medina, which crashed following an altercation in which an earlier incident with a white Audi — driven by a man against whom Ms. Medina reportedly held an active restraining order — led to a confrontation outside her fiancé’s residence, during which the fiancé reported being struck by the Audi. Ms. Medina was intoxicated and combative, refused to exit, and was arrested; the area had extensive building CCTV, two witnesses, and the fiancé’s phone video, and a parallel investigation of the ex-boyfriend (assault by auto and restraining-order violation) was referenced. The Tesla was towed.
Specifically, I request:
1.All body-worn camera (BWC) video and audio from all officers present at the scene, transport, and processing;
2.All in-car / dashboard camera (dashcam) video and audio from all responding municipal vehicles;
3.The complete incident, arrest, and offense report(s), including all supplemental narratives and any report relating to the parallel investigation of the other involved party (assault by auto / restraining-order violation);
4.All standardized field sobriety test documentation and any Alcotest/breath records;
5.Any building/CCTV surveillance footage, witness statements, and the fiancé’s submitted phone video/photographs collected as part of the investigation, and any records confirming the active restraining order;
6.All computer-aided dispatch (CAD) logs, call-for-service history, and radio dispatch audio for this event; and
7.Any booking sheets, photographs, the towing record for the Tesla Model X, and property/evidence intake logs associated with this arrest.
Please respond as soon as practicable and within the statutory timeframes required under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA), N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. If any portion of this request is redacted or denied, please specify the exact statutory exemption under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1 being applied. Please advise in advance if any copy or retrieval fees will exceed $25.00. I am willing to receive records electronically in any standard digital format.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Magic Media
