A Hackettstown, New Jersey woman faces charges for a third offense DWI in Denville, NJ.

The suspect, a 36-year-old resident of Hackettstown in Warren County, NJ, was allegedly driving her car on Route 10 when she committed a traffic violation. Denville NJ patrol cops noticed the suspect driving too slow on the highway, so they stopped her vehicle.

When Denville police officers approached the car, they reportedly smelled marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. A passenger in the car then allegedly told police that he was in possession of marijuana.

The cops ran a check on the suspect and reportedly discovered that her license had been suspended. Police arrested the suspect and charged her with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and driving with a suspended license.

According to officials, the suspect has at least two past convictions for drunk driving in New Jersey. A third conviction for DWI would lead to severe penalties, including a mandatory term of incarceration in the Morris County Jail in Morristown, New Jersey.
