Lange, 41, whose infamous battle with drugs and alcohol were chronicled in his best seller book "Too Fat to Fish," was charged the afternoon of July 10 with driving while intoxicated following a traffic accident at Silver Bay Road and Brand Avenue in the Silverton section.
The lawyer representing Lange, Michael Grasso of Freehold, met with the municipal prosecutor Wednesday in a pretrial conference.
On the day of the accident, police said Lange was cooperative and complied with the request for a urine sample following the crash. Lange passed the Alcotest administered after the crash, officials said.
The day after the crash, Lange appeared at the Ocean County Library to discuss his book, Grasso said.
Lange is a sidekick on Howard Stern's satellite radio show. He is a former star of the television show "MADtv" and has appeared in the movies "Dirty Work," "Elf," "Old School" and "Beer League" which he also co-wrote and co-produced.
