NJ-3 GOP candidate Ian Smith charged with DUI

New Jersey Globe

A Republican congressional candidate in New Jersey’s 3rd district was arrested on charges that he was driving under the influence early Sunday morning after refusing to take a breathalyzer test.

Ian A. Smith, the owner of the Atlis Gym and an outspoken critic of Gov. Phil Murphy, is running for the GOP nod to take on Rep. Andy Kim (D-Moorestown) in the fall.

Cinnaminson police officer Harry Cicale issued six summonses to Smith, including reckless and careless driving, after stopping the Republican House candidate on Route 130 North near Andover Road.

A campaign spokesman, Steve Kush, said Smith’s truck swerved in high winds and that he passed a field sobriety test.

Kush said Smith refused the breathalyzer test out of fear that Cicale, a former standout Cinnaminson High School baseball player, might be trying to set him up.
