In On Feb. 24, 2022, Sytch, who was 49 at the time, was arrested in Keansburg and charged with multiple traffic violations including DUI, driving with a suspended/revoked license, driving without a license and more, as previously reported by Daily Voice.
According to the description of the bodycam footage released by Transparency Bodycam, citing police paperwork, Sytch had a blood alcohol level of .30% — nearly four times the legal limit of .08%.
In the video, Keansburg officers respond to Beachway and Laurel avenues, after Sytch had apparently struck a pole and drove away. The officers address Sytch by her first name and ask her to turn her car off repeatedly, before putting her through a field sobriety test. Sytch pleads with the officers to let her go.
Sytch would eventually be processed and released at headquarters, only a month later to cause the crash that killed a 75-year-old man in Florida with a blood alcohol level of more than three times the legal limit.
Sytch was sentenced to 17 years in prison, a term she was serving as of press time at the Lowell Correctional Institution.
