A New Jersey congressional candidate known for his opposition to COVID-19 lockdowns informed police that he was running for office during his arrest on a charge of driving while intoxicated, according to newly released body camera footage.
Ian Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym and a candidate for New Jersey's Third Congressional District, failed a sobriety test after being pulled over for swerving multiple times in his truck, video footage released by the Cinnaminson Township Police Department and published Thursday by NewJersey.com showed.
"Ian has a distrust of government in New Jersey after being persecuted by the Governor and government agencies for two years. He's certainly not the first public figure not to trust a breathalyzer," he said.
