FLEMINGTON - A Scotch Plains police officer arrested in August after leaving the scene of an accident has been indicted by a Grand Jury on a charge of third-degree eluding, the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office announced.

Stephanie Roggina, 26, of Flemington, who joined the Scotch Plains Police Department in Union County in June, was indicted by a Hunterdon County Grand Jury on Thursday, Hunterdon County Prosecutor Anthony P. Kearns, III, said. She remains suspended without pay from the department.

"Ms. Roggina was stopped by the Readington Township Police Department on August 26, 2016, and subsequently arrested for eluding and driving while under the influence," Kearns said. "An arraignment date will be scheduled by the court."

Roggina allegedly appeared intoxicated during the stop, it was previously reported. She was also charged with driving while intoxicated and issued motor-vehicle summonses for reckless driving, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, leaving the scene of a crash and obstructing the passage of other vehicles. She is still facing additional hearings on all of those charges.

Roggina, a 2008 graduate of Hunterdon Central Regional High School, earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Kean University in 2012. According to her LinkedIn page, she worked as a security officer at the university from 2012-2015, becoming an officer in the university's police department for just over a year before being appointed to the Scotch Plains Police Department on June 10.
