✅ NJ assistant prosecutor Bryashia Atchison-Henderson found intoxicated on ground
✅ Failed a sobriety test and vomited in patrol car during DUI arrest
✅ Despite arrest and charges, she remained on the job
EDGEWATER — An Essex County assistant prosecutor charged with DWI on the night of her birthday in July has made a deal to drop the charge.
Police found Bryashia Atchison-Henderson lying next to her Ford Explorer in a parking lot in March 2025, according to body cam footage posted by the YouTube channel Transparency Bodycam.
The former NBA cheerleader told officers, “I didn’t realize I was this drunk,” began to cry, and said she just wanted to go home and check on her son. The officer holding Atchison-Henderson to make sure she didn’t fall said that by admitting she was drunk, he had to perform “some tests” on her.
