A Mount Olive resident was arrested at the community pool on a variety of charges, including drunken driving, after the man took his girlfriend’s car without permission because he wanted cigarettes, police said.
Police were called to the pool at 3:01 p.m. Monday about a vehicle that was taken without the owner’s consent.
The subsequent investigation determined that Steven Brennan, 51, of the Budd Lake section of Mount Olive, had asked his girlfriend for cigarettes, but she said that she didn’t have any and wasn’t going to buy any, police said.
Brennan then took his girlfriend’s car without her consent to go buy cigarettes. Police were called to the pool and while the officers were on the scene, Brennan returned to the pool parking lot, police said.
While talking to Brennan, an officer detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage so they gave him a field sobriety test, which he failed. Brennan then was taken to police headquarters where he refused to take the Alcotest, police said.
Charges filed
Brennan was charged with taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent, disorderly conduct, driving while intoxicated, refusal to submit to the Alcotest, careless driving, driving with a suspended license and driving while intoxicated in a school zone.
Brennan also was wanted on a $1,293 Mount Olive Municipal Court criminal warrant and a $1,040 Irvington Municipal Court criminal warrant.
Brennan was unable to post bail on the warrants and was turned over to Mount Olive police. He was then held in the Morris County Jail on the Mount Olive warrant
