DeGise's father is Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise, who took office after winning a special election in November 2022.
The ECPO will be bringing the case to special remand court, which is for cases that have been specially selected by the county prosecutors — usually those of the fourth degree and third degree only — for early disposition.
Thousands of Jersey City residents began calling for Councilwoman DeGise's resignation following a July 19 incident on Forrest Street near Martin Luther King Drive, in which she struck 31-year-old bicyclist Andrew Black, according to police reports.
Black reportedly said he had a green light but the footage shows him running a red, Hudson County View reports. DeGise was issued summonses for failure to report a accident and leaving the scene of an accident.
Since then, various news outlets shed light on DeGise's driving records which, according to a new report by the Jersey Journal, include suspensions, court no-shows, four accidents and dozens of summonses. Body-cam footage shows DeGise trying to talk her way out of a car-tow last year.
