Mount Olive NJ DWI Charges
A Morristown, NJ man accused of drunk driving in 1987 will finally be appearing in Mount Olive court to answer the charges.
64-year-old Larry J. Hendrickson was first charged with a DWI on November 20, 1987 after allegedly registering a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.17 percent. However, Hendrickson failed to appear for a municipal court hearing, causing the case to remain open.
Earlier this year, Hendrickson was stopped for an unrelated offense. A computer background check revealed that he had a warrant out for his arrest.
Hendrickson has pleaded not guilty to the charge. His next court appearance is scheduled for June.
When Hendrickson was first charged with a DWI, the law in New Jersey established a BAC limit of 0.10 percent. In 2004, the state legislature amended the law and lowered the BAC limit to 0.08 percent.
