BRIDGETON -- A 19-year-old suspected illegal immigrant was lodged in Cumberland County Jail on Monday night after allegedly hitting a parked car on South Avenue and refusing a breath test.

Cristian Perez, of North Pearl Street, who police on Tuesday morning said could barely walk and failed a balance test when police pulled him over on South Avenue around 11 p.m. on Monday, was charged with driving while intoxicated, refusal to submit to a Breathalyzer test, reckless driving and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident.

Perez, driving a green Plymoth Neon with temporary tags, allegedly hit a parked car before attempting to flee the scene of the accident, according to Lt. James Battavio.

Battavio said Immigrations and Customs Enforcement has been notified of Perez's potential status as an illegal immigrant.
