An intoxicated driver was arrested by Riverside Township officers yesterday after driving recklessly through a construction zone. It was just before noon along Washington St when a female identified as Emma J. Mazzoli, 46 years old of Delran, NJ, drove around construction signs and a road crew at a high rate of speed, almost striking one of the workers with her vehicle. She was eventually stopped by officers on the site, but walked away from them while they attempted to conduct an investigation. Mazzoli was arrested on the scene for Obstructing the Administration of Law and was found to be operating her motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicating liquor. Her vehicle was impounded.
