Hackettstown police say they found Michael Kane of Sparta drunk in his car with empty Fireball whiskey bottles two nights in a row over the Memorial Day weekend.
Murphy, a retired U.S. Army colonel and wife of the president of Centenary University, was taking a daily morning walk in Hackettstown when she was struck and killed on Jan. 7.
The man sitting in a car moved the rifle he was holding and shot a dog sitting in the driver's seat. He continued to move it in the direction of one of the troopers.
