State v. Micelli, A-1 September Term 2012; Supreme Court; per curiam opinion; decided August 19, 2013. On appeal from the Appellate Division. [Sat below: Judges in the Appellate Division; Judge in the Law Division] D.D.S. No. 14-1-1051 [16 pp.]
Defendant Santino Micelli was charged with second-degree eluding a law enforcement officer by failing to stop. The state’s theory of the case was that defendant drove his mother’s Suzuki through a driving-while-intoxicated checkpoint, ignoring posted stop signs. Police officers found the abandoned car a short distance away. It contained letters with defendant’s name and was registered to his mother.
