Bergen County Sheriff Leo P. McGuire today announced the arrest of Michael Georgevich, Jr. of Clifton. Georgevich was arrested by the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office Thursday afternoon on charges of Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages in a Vehicle, Open Alcoholic Container in a Motor Vehicle, Driving Under the Influence and Lack of Liability Insurance on a Motor Vehicle.
At approximately 1:30 PM on Thursday, Georgevich entered the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission’s Lodi Office and proceeded to make a series of lewd comments to an MVC employee. Mr. Georgevich was requested to leave by an MVC supervisor. Mr. Georgevich refused. The supervisor notified a member of the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office, which provides security at the facility, who in turn escorted Mr. Georgevich from the building.
The officer, noting Mr. Georgevich’s erratic behavior, stopped him as he realized he was attempting to pull away in his vehicle. At that time the officer noticed 4 open containers of vodka in the vehicle and proceeded to administer a field sobriety test which Mr. Georgevich failed. Georgevich was arrested and brought to the Sheriff’s Office Headquarters in Hackensack where 2 successive Breathalyzer tests were administered. Mr. Georgevich blew a 0.21, twice the legal limit, each time.
Mr. Georgevich was remanded to the custody of the Bergen Regional Medical Center for further evaluation.
