Brick Woman, Charged in Fatal Toms River Accident, Arrested on Prostitution Charge

Crystal Vallee, the 26-year-old Brick woman who has been charged in a fatal accident where authorities say she was under the influence of drugs when she hit a North Jersey man on Route 35, has been arrested again, this time on a prostitution charge.

Vallee was arrested around 6:30 p.m. June 15 after she propositioned an undercover Seaside Heights Police detective, Elijah Bryant, at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and the Boulevard, said Detective Steve Korman. Bryant brought Vallee to police headquarters for processing and released her on a summons, but police later found out that Vallee had provided a false name.

She was found on Sumner Avenue and re-arrested June 19 by Ptl. Joseph Fastige, and was charged with hindering apprehension based on her providing a false name, Korman said. Additionally, Korman said, there was a bench warrant out for her arrest connected to the vehicular homicide case, specifically, failure to show up at a court appearance in May.

Vallee's vehicular homicide charge stems from a Nov. 2009 incident where police say she fatally struck Mark Infante, 54, of West Orange, after having used cocaine. The accident occurred on Route 35 in the Ocean Beach section of Toms River, where Infante maintained a vacation home. Vallee is also facing numerous, unrelated drug and theft charges in Ocean and Monmouth counties.

Vallee, whose last known address was on West Princeton Ave. in Brick, has been lodged in the Ocean County Jail, Toms River, since June 20, jail records show. Bail has been set at $200,000 on the vehicular homicide charge, $15,000 on a theft by deception charge, $15,000 on a fraudulent use of a credit card charge and $2,500 on the prostitution charge.
