Brick Township police officers, enroute in Toms River after dropping off a prisoner at the Ocean County jail, assisted in a driving under the influence arrest 3 a.m. Friday.

Brick Township Officers James Iannarone and Mark Byers were on Main Street, stopped at the traffic light at Route 37 and 166, when they observed a vehicle next to them make a left turn into the Route 37 eastbound lanes going the wrong way, according to Police Chief Michael Mastronardy.

The Brick officers then also turned left in the westbound lanes and made numerous attempts to get the driver's attention and have him turn around, according to police.

The officers sped up and upon entering the intersection of Route 37 and Hospital Drive they were able to stop the driver. 

The driver then handed the officers his keys, was very cooperative and stated to the officers he was “too drunk to drive,” according to police.

Toms River Police Officer Adam Koeppen charged Daniel Goss, 46, of Toms River with DWI, reckless driving and driving the wrong way on a one-way street.
