A 27-year-old Amagansett woman was charged with drunken driving at about 9 p.m. Saturday after she hit a utility pole on Industrial Road in Montauk, near Edgemere Street.
Abigail Rose Gawronski, who had been southbound in a 2007 Mazda, told East Hampton Town police she’d swerved to avoid a deer. Police, however, said she performed poorly on field sobriety tests, and she was held for the rest of the night on the misdemeanor charge. East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky released her following a Sunday morning arraignment, and she is due back in court on July 11.
Paul J. Phelan, 57, of Nashua, N.H., was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Amagansett on Sunday. Police stopped his 2016 Nissan Maxima with Connecticut plates at about 2:30 a.m. as it headed west on Montauk Highway, near the intersection of Three Sisters Lane. A report said he had failed to signal a turn.
He was charged with misdemeanor D.W.I. Justice Tekulsky released him later that morning on $500 bail.
Florencia Masante of East Hampton, 52, was similarly charged on June 15. She was seen driving a 2013 Porsche without headlights, police said, and an officer pulled her over in the dark on Amagansett Main Street near Meeting House Lane at about 10:40 p.m. At her arraignment the next day, Justice Lisa R. Rana released her on her own recognizance.
Over in Sag Harbor, an East Hampton woman was picked up on a D.W.I. charge at about 1:20 a.m. Friday after she drove a 2015 Nissan Rogue through a stop sign at the intersection of Bay and Main Streets. Village police said Felicia N. Mais, 30, appeared intoxicated and performed poorly on several field tests. She was charged with misdemeanor D.W.I., as well as driving without a license and failure to stop, both violations, and was released on her own recognizance later that day.
