Kevin Roldan allegedly ran the light on Paterson Avenue and struck another driver heading south on Harrison Street around 3 a.m. on Oct. 16, as reported by the Jersey Journal.

In the clip published by HCV, Hoboken Police Lt. David Olivera can be heard telling Officer Anthony Rutkowski, "Don’t let that change your judgement: if he passes, he passes, if he fails, he fails – you understand?” The Hoboken officer was holding Roldan's ID.

Roldan tells the officer he tried to make it through a yellow light and got "clipped," and later admits to drinking three beers.
