Oct. 1, 2013, had been a long day for Allen, including a trip to an animal shelter in Philadelphia to get Sincere a dog for his birthday, then out to King of Prussia to pick up his father, Desmond Boyd. The two were heading to Atlantic City to decorate a suite at the Tropicana for Sincere's party. It was about 1 a.m., Allen said, when a New Jersey State Police trooper pulled her over for an alleged unsafe lane change.
