Dianna Russini’s traffic stop in Ridgewood, NJ, on January 19, 2026, was captured on police body camera footage, revealing her claiming to be an NFL reporter and referencing breaking news about Sean McDermott’s firing. During the stop, she showcased text conversations with NFL coaches, including Minnesota’s Kevin O’Connell, which contributed to the officer deciding to issue her a verbal warning instead of a ticket. Russini previously recounted the incident differently on air, suggesting she FaceTimed the coach, a claim not supported by the footage. The Ridgewood Police Department confirmed the officer’s decision to let her go was based on discretion and department protocol.
