‘Real Housewives’ Star Joe Giudice, Driving Maserati, Pulled Over Again

Giudice, indicted last week on new fraud charges, was pulled over for motor vehicle violations for the second time this month.

Amid his legal troubles, Joe Giudice, 43, a Towaco resident and star of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey," was pulled over in Montville and issued two summonses Tuesday morning. 

Montville Police were assisting the New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicles Mobile Inspection Unit on Hook Mountain Road. 

“Giudice was operating a Maserati on Hook Mountain Road and was observed with no inspection sticker. Mr. Giudice was directed to the inspection unit and issued two summonses by Montville Police,” Montville Police Capt. Rudy Appelmann said. “The summonses were for failure to inspect and expired insurance card.”

NJ Division of Motor Vehicles Mobile Inspection unit has mobile inspection capabilities. Police officers look for observable motor vehicle violations and overdue inspection stickers and vehicles requiring up-to-date inspection are directed to the inspection unit. They then are issued summonses from Montville for the observed violations, Appelmann said.

Earlier this month, Giudice was pulled over and cited for careless driving in a school zone. 

Giudice and his wife, Teresa, 41, appeared before U.S. District Judge Esther Salas in Newark federal court last week and pleaded not guilty to two new fraud charges. These two new charges bring their total indictments up to 41 counts. 

Also, Joe Giudice's court date for forgery charges stemming from a March 2011 arrest was delayed recently.
