She isn’t a teacher by training, but for many Latino families in the East Hampton School District who primarily speak Spanish at home, Ana Nunez has offered a different kind of education.

For the last three years, she has served as the district’s liaison to those families, who make up what is generally an underserved part of the population. Over that time, Ms. Nunez has been credited with enriching the education of Latino students by giving their parents better access to information about school policies and practices they did not previously fully understand.

Now, Ms. Nunez is preparing to leave the district and pursue a new career path, one that has been inspired by the East Hampton school community itself. She’ll soon start studying at a New York City law school, with the hope of someday helping other Long Island schools establish the same kind of trusted relationship with parents who may not understand English. Eventually, Ms. Nun­ez said, she would like to return to Latin America and become an advocate for education.

“It’s been really rewarding,” she tolda visitor. “I moved here to East Hampton when I was 9. I went through the English-as-a-second-language classes . . . but a lot of it I learned from my peers, everything that needed to be done to be college and career-ready. Coming back here, it was rewarding to be able to integrate those parents, like my mom, who were new to the system.”

Originally from Ecuador, Ms. Nunez, 25, graduated from East Hampton High School in 2007. She holds a degree in political science and economics, with a concentration in Latin American studies, from Columbia University. She began her role as community liaison in 2012.

There are plans to hire a new community liaison, according to Bob Tymann, the district’s assistant superintendent. He hopes that person will be in place during the summer, when Ms. Nunez will be available to introduce him or her to the Spanish-speaking community. But Ms. Nunez will be a really tough act to follow, Mr. Tymann said.

“We’ve developed a great partnership. Nobody is going to replace her,” he said. “. . . It’s amazing how much information she has absorbed and relayed to parents in a way they can understand.”

Ms. Nunez coordinates about 30 parent meetings per year, addressing topics such as how to help children with their homework, how to understand report cards, and how to navigate the college admissions process. Most are small group meetings with about 40 parents each, specific to grade levels, but meeting attendance peaked at about 240 parents at a meeting about Common Core math homework. Ms. Nunez also responds nearly every day to parents’ questions via phone and email, and coordinates with specific teachers when parents need to speak with them.

Along the way, one of the biggest challenges was to “create a blueprint,” she said. “There was nothing established before. We had to create a plan with a goal, first identifying a goal and then trying to see how to get there.”

Ms. Nunez, whose last day will be in August, said it’s critical that this program continues after her departure.

“We can’t afford to have an interruption in this,” she said. “We’ve been able to establish a pattern, and parents already expect what to hear. I think it needs to continue for them to feel more comfortable and for them to continue growing.”

Mr. Tymann agreed, saying, “We’ve worked so hard on gaining and establishing their trust. We have to make sure that trust is connected to the new person’s role when they first come in.”

A group of Latino parents attended the June 2 school board meeting to show their support for Ms. Nunez. One of those parents was Lina Ramirez, whose daughter is in kindergarten.

“She has helped us a lot,” Ms. Ramirez said in an interview. “She explains a lot, even things that maybe I don’t understand. We grew up in another country and the schools are different. She explains how the system here works and she’s very good with people.”

Ms. Ramirez also said the community liaison position is important for the Spanish-speaking parents in East Hampton. “That’s why we spoke at the district meeting,” she said. “Because we need the help.”

Other than the 35 lifeguard trainees who had shown up for what John Ryan Sr. calls “the Joe Dooley test,” which, if they passed, would certify them as ocean lifeguards, there weren’t many at the Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett Sunday morning.

Presumably because the water was cold; though, as Ryan and his son John Jr. said later, at 60 degrees it was much warmer than the frigid 49-degree surf into which they had plunged the day after Memorial Day at the Maidstone Club, where John McGeehan and Brian Cunningham trained them during the weeks leading up to Sunday’s demanding test.

All but three of the 35 passed, having successfully made individual and group rescues 100 to 125 yards offshore — with rescuers, once having packed a victim up onto the beach, rushing back out to play the role of a victim — after which everyone took part in a 300-yard endurance swim whose top finishers were Cecilia De Havenon and Marikate Ryan, East Hampton High School sophomores who are on the varsity girls swim team.

While John Ryan Sr., the senior member of the Hampton Lifeguard Association, which in association with the East Hampton Town Recreation Department trained the test-takers, beginning with freestyle stroke work at the Y.M.C.A. East Hampton RECenter in March, said the endurance swim was “not a race,” his son, John Jr., who heads up the town’s ocean lifeguard staff, said, “Well, they say it’s not a race, but it is.”

John Jr. said the extremely high pass percentage was owing to the instruction McGeehan and Cunningham provided. As for those three who did not pass, “they’ll get another chance on Monday,” he said. And that would be it as far as ocean tests go here, he added, except for recertification tests in August.

“The Maidstone Club’s generosity over the years has been huge,” McGeehan said. “It’s much appreciated. We use the club’s pool, its locker rooms, and the beach there. . . . The first two weeks the trainees wear wetsuits, in the third week they don’t.”

“It was a beautiful ocean on test day, though the conditions were rough and the water was much colder in the days that led up to it,” McGeehan said.

The list of those who passed — all of whom John Ryan Jr. said he expects to be subsequently hired — comprises: Robert Anderson III, Aiaz Ansari, Alexa Berti, Theodore J. Calabrese III, Dylan Camacho, David Carman, Chloe Collette-Schindler, Benjamin Connors, Cecilia De Havenon, Alexandra Ebel, Charlotte Evans, Jennings Fantini.

Harvey P. Foulser, Corey Gilroy, Alyssa Kneeland, Britteny L. Krzyzewski, James McMahon, Nicholas McMahon, Joseph Mench, Jorge Naula, Hannah Pell, Brian Platt, Sean Romeo, Marikate Ryan, Timothy Squires, Ni­cholas Tulp, William R. Vargas, Vincent Vigorita, William Weinlandt, Robert Weiss, Andrew Wilson, and Lauren M. Zaino.

John Ryan Sr., who has made it a mission over the years to assure that “every kid in this town is drown-proof,” said he was particularly impressed by Berti’s performance in one of the individual rescues. “You know, it’s the luck of the draw as to who you get as a victim. Hers was 50 pounds heavier than she was.

“More than that,” said John Jr. “Seventy-five pounds heavier.”

“Anyway,” said the elder Ryan, “she struggled mightily to get him up the beach to where the lifeguard stand is after she’d brought him to the water’s edge. Then she had to turn right around and swim out to be the victim. I thought she’d swim out slowly, but she was so thrilled that she’d done it that she flew out there. The torp rescue that she did is the second of the four events — it’s generally considered that if you can do that one you’ve crunched it. . . . I was thrilled with the quality and quantity of the kids who took the test.”

There was also one adult, 49-year-old Brian Platt, a Southamptoner and father of a junior lifeguard here who, Ryan said, had wanted to work as a volunteer. “You can do that — Steve Brierley and Mike Forst have — but only if you’re a certified ocean guard. He was phenomenal. I remember when he was in the Y’s pool in March he said, ‘I don’t think I’m cut out for this,’ but he came every day for the still-water training, twice a week, and he did it.”

And now the question becomes where along the beach will these new guards work. Ocean lifeguard pay varies considerably here. Gurney’s Inn, for instance, pays $18 an hour, East Hampton Village pays $15, and East Hampton Town $13.50.

Update, June 22, 10:50 a.m.: The head-on collision that occurred in East Hampton on Friday night was caused by a drunken driver, according to East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo. 

He confirmed on Monday that the crash took place on Route 114, near Swamp Road, when Elmar Hernandez Cruz, 20, of East Hampton, the driver of a 1999 Dodge, hit a 2015 Chevy Suburban. The driver was extricated from the Dodge by heavy rescue squads from the Sag Harbor and East Hampton Fire Departments and flown to Stony Brook University Hospital, where he was charged with driving while intoxicated. He will be arraigned in East Hampton Town Justice Court at a later date due to his injuries. 

Two occupants in the Suburban were transported to Southampton Hospital with minor injuries, Chief Sarlo said. 

Originally, June 19, 9:22 p.m.: A head-on collision was reported on Route 114 in East Hampton on Friday night, leaving at least one person trapped inside a vehicle. 

The accident occured near a bend in Route 114 near Swamp Road, just before 8:55 p.m. It was unclear how many were injured, but a medevac helicopter was called to land at the East Hampton Airport to fly one person to Stony Brook University Hospital, the nearest trauma center. 

The East Hampton Fire Department, the Sag Harbor Fire Department, and the East Hampton Village Ambulance Association responded, along with East Hampton Town police. The accident was on the border of the East Hampton and Sag Harbor's Fire Districts. 

Traffic was being diverted off Route 114.

Sag Harbor Village officially has a new mayor, Sandra Schroeder, and a new village justice, Lisa R. Rana. 

Ms. Schroeder, a longtime village clerk and the deputy mayor for the past year, was elected with 338 votes over her opponent, Robby Stein, a fellow member of the Sag Harbor Village Board. He received 281 votes. The results were announced at about 10 p.m., about an hour after the polls closed.

Ms. Schroeder said it felt "wonderful" to be elected, "because now I can do stuff. We're all going to work together," she said of the board. 

Mr. Stein has a year remaining on his village board term, as did Ms. Schroeder, who was elected to the board only last year. Ms. Schroeder's election creates a vacancy on the board, which she said will be filled after the board discusses potential appointees. 

Ms. Schroeder will replace Brian Gilbride, the mayor for the past six years. He has served on the board for 21 years, but decided not to seek re-election this year. Ms. Schroeder will take office on July 6.

In the justice race, Ms. Rana, an East Hampton Town justice and the acting Sag Harbor Village justice, won with 277 votes. She received just 17 more votes that Michael S. Bromberg. Stephen Grossman, who has a practice in Sag Harbor Village, took in 65 votes. 

Mr. Bromberg was the only candidate who lives in the Village of Sag Harbor. Special legislation was enacted before the court was established five years ago that allows justices to live outside the village limits, as long as they live within the confines of the Town of East Hampton or the Town of Southampton. Ms. Rana hails from Amagansett, and Mr. Grossman lives in East Hampton.

Also on the ballots Tuesday night were two village board positions. Ed Deyermond and Ken O'Donnell, current members, ran unopposed. Mr. Deyermond, a former village mayor, received 454 votes, and Mr. O'Donnell received 427.

East Hampton Village police are seeking help from the public in identifying a woman they say shoplifted a $300 necklace from a boutique on Newtown Lane on June 8. According to Detective Steve Sheades, the theft occurred at about 3 p.m., after the suspect entered the store with another woman. The necklace was taken off of a counter display. Police did not name the store.

Police ask that anyone with knowledge of the incident, or the identity of the woman, call the East Hampton Village detectives bureau at 324-1026. All calls will be kept confidential, Detective Sheades said Wednesday.

A judge has dealt a setback to the Town of East Hampton and town trustees in a lawsuit that could effectively end access by the public to a roughly 4,000-foot-long portion of ocean beach.

The suit was brought in 2009 by property owners frustrated by the sometimes hundreds of trucks that would pass and often park in front of their houses on summer weekends.

In a June 2 decision, Suffolk Supreme Court Justice Jerry Garguilo denied a request by town lawyers to dismiss the case, reversing a decision in September and bolstering the property owners’ position that they own the beach in front of their houses.

“I feel very strongly about public access and that there has been a long tradition there. I want that protected,” East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said. He said that a legal strategy meeting with the town trustees would be held soon.

Matthew Skolnick, a Danbury, Conn., orthopedic surgeon and past president of the Seaview at Amagansett property owners association, one of the plaintiffs in the case, said that he and his wife had owned a house on the beach there for 25 years and in that time observed a huge increase in four-wheel-drive traffic. “You used to see a couple of trucks off to the east, out in the distance,” he said. “It has multiplied to the point now where it has become insane.”

Truck Beach, as the stretch of sand east of Napeague Lane in Amagansett has unofficially begun to be called in recent years, is an increasingly popular alternative to the town’s official bathing beaches, especially among year-round residents. This has not sat well with nearby property owners.

The lawsuit claims that their property has been at times overrun with people parking for the day to swim, sunbathe, and barbecue. In dispute, too, is a narrow path used by trucks to reach the beach at the eastern end of Marine Boulevard. A related lawsuit filed by property owners about two miles to the east, including the White Sands Motel on Napeague, is ongoing.

Both suits argue that speeding vehicles are a risk to residents, their employees, and their guests, and that trucks have been illegally parked on beach grass, which could destabilize dunes. Also claimed is that bonfires and fireworks set off by beachgoers are a risk to upand properties.

“To my knowledge in the 30 years that I have gone down there, I don’t know of anyone being hurt or an incident. There’s a lot a self-policing,” said Tim Taylor, a land surveyor and president of Citizens for Access Rights. “There are a lot of kids down there, and we are concerned about safety, too.”

Dr. Skolnick took issue with the position of CfAR and other beach-driving proponents that the fight was about access. “We don’t care who’s on the beach. We just don’t want a dangerous situation,” he said.

“I just think that they want the people off the beach, and the trucks are a way to do that,” Mr. Taylor said. “Trucks are access; you don’t have access by any other means. Do that and you have a de facto private beach,” he said, observing, as did Dr. Skolnick, that the nearest public parking area has room for only about 20 or so vehicles.

“I appreciate their concern about the intensity of the use,” Mr. Taylor, who is also a captain in the Springs Fire Department, said. “I don’t think that it is an abusive use.”

In the June 2 ruling Justice Garguilo denied a request by the town and trustees to have the case dismissed. He upheld the property owners’ position that they, and not the town or trustees, own the beach to the high-tide line, reversing his earlier finding.

Justice Garguilo wrote in his decision that the plaintiffs’ lawyers and a real estate title expert had demonstrated a chain of ownership on their individual deeds going back to an 1882 agreement between the town trustees and Arthur Benson, an early developer who at one time owned all of Montauk. He said that the town and trustees had not adequately supported their position that 20th-century subdivision maps that predated the deeds and depicted the properties as extending only to the end of beach grass — not the beach itself — were binding. This will likely be resolved at trial.

“The ownership issue is of considerably less interest to us; it’s the trucks,” Dr. Skolnick said.

In December, the East Hampton Town Board retained a lawyer specializing in public condemnation with the intention of acquiring the disputed oceanfront strip and Marine Boulevard access path. In a January interview, Michael Rikon of Goldstein, Rikon, Rikon and Houghton in Manhattan said doing so would serve a “very clear public purpose.”

The potential cost of condemnation could depend on the court’s final decision about whether the town or the property owners owned the portion of beach above the high tide line. Dr. Skolnick speculated that it would come at a high price that would not be welcomed by East Hampton Town taxpayers.

Question of History

The 1882 deal between Benson and the Trustees of the Freeholders and Commonalty of the Town of East Hampton read in part: “And also except and reserved to the inhabitants of the Town of East Hampton the right to land fish boats and netts to spread the netts on the adjacent sands and care for the fish and material as has been customary heretofore on the South Shore of the Town lying Westerly of these conveyed premises.”

A key issue remaining for an expected trial is whether rights of use guaranteed to fishing crews in the Benson deal are relevant today.

According to the property owners’ claim, though “net fishermen” used the beach in the past, it had not been “accessed by vehicles and used by the public for recreational purposes in its current nature and intensity” prior to 1991, when town beach-driving rules were amended, Justice Garguilo wrote.

The suit claims that the use of the beach today by members of the public is not authorized by the language in the Benson agreement. Justice Garguilo wrote that the property owners may remain bound by the fishing exception in the Benson deed and that questions about its meaning today remain.

Dr. Skolnick said that attempts to negotiate a settlement with town officials have been rebuffed. “The town is, by its actions, jeopardizing access to the beach,” he said.

Mr. Cantwell said that any discussions would have to include the town trustees as well as user groups, such as CfAR.

A date for the trial has not been set.

I attended the change of command ceremony held at the Coast Guard’s Station Montauk a week ago. Senior Chief Petty Officer Jason Walter handed the helm to incoming Senior Chief Petty Officer Eric Best. He then retired after 21 years of service to his country, and, by all accounts, extraordinary service to the Montauk and East Hampton communities during his last assignment.

The Montauk Chamber of Commerce had given him a grand sendoff the night before attended by Capt. Edward Cubanski, the Guard’s commander of the Long Island Sound sector. At the conclusion of his remarks the next day, Captain Cubanski recalled what Bonnie Brady of Montauk, executive director of the Long Island Commercial Fishing Association, and the wife of Capt. David Aripotch, had said during the chamber event that he had attended.

He said she’d told chamber members of a brief conversation she’d had with Chief Walter on the occasion of her husband’s fishing boat taking on water 50 miles from shore in terrible weather.  Brady had repeated Chief Walter’s words to her: “Don’t worry, we’ve got you.” And, they did.

It was a solemn moment in a solemn ceremony with the people of the Montauk Station, and the cutter Ridley, standing at parade rest looking on along with members of Montauk’s commercial and recreational fishing communities. I have been fortunate enough to witness future Coast Guard officers and petty officers in training.

“You have to go out, but you don’t have to come back,” are among the very first words they hear from their instructors.

They were written into regulations of the United States Lifesaving Service, one of the Coast Guard’s precursor organizations, in 1899, based on the experience gained during the 109 previous years, from when the United States Revenue Service, the Guard’s founding agency, was created by an act of Congress in 1790. 

The saying — in other words, “Do it right, your life depends on it” — is the underlying truth, the basic understanding that accounts for the way the Coast Guard goes about its business. Of course, it’s the way all mariners should go about their work or play, but they (we) don’t — not always — and even if we did, the sea is not a level playing ground. Nor do best laid plans always work out. People need to be rescued, and others  “have to go out” because they have accepted it as their duty. Captain Cubanski brought it home.

He said (I’m paraphrasing here) that when one person is rescued, it’s not only one life, it affects the lives of his or her family back on shore and the community at large. He said it was Chief Walter’s leadership (his tight ship was recognized nationwide within the Coast Guard, Captain Cubanski said), as well as the strong ties he and his people had spliced into the existing bonds of Montauk’s greater fishing family that marked Chief Walter’s outstanding contribution.

It’s so easy to take such commitment for granted, but maybe that’s the whole idea. We who live, work, and play in one of the nation’s most fickle marine environments sense the presence of a safety net. We should never forget that the net is made of people, the ones we see now and then in uniform at the I.G.A. or the post office. It wouldn’t hurt to thank them for their service. Out here, it’s personal. And if you should meet up with Eric Best, the station’s new commander, tell him welcome aboard.

Fish don’t actually fear me. There, I’ve said it. There are more aggressive anglers, but I launched the sloop Leilani the other day and she is equipped with one boat rod for trolling up striped bass and bluefish, as well as when drifting for porgies, fluke, and sea bass (if and when that season opens on July 15). Hope so, because boaters have been catching some fat ones. And I have a casting rod should bass or bluefish venture too close when Leilani’s at anchor.

In the Montauk SurfMaster’s spring surfcasting tournament, Gary Krist moved into first place with a 42.1-pound striper he caught a week ago. The big bass pushed Arden Gardell’s 25-pounder into second place.

The tournament season has begun, of course. The first shark tournament of 2015 is scheduled for Friday and Saturday. Last year’s winner was the Reel Deal boat that landed a 377-pound thresher.

A reminder: It is now state law that only non-stainless-steel circle hooks be used when shark fishing in state waters. Circle hooks tend to lodge in the jaws of sharks rather than the gut. Non-stainless so that when a shark is released, the hook will eventually rust and fall away. I like the no-kill shark tournament approach better, but nobody asked me.

East Hampton Town detectives executed a search warrant during the pre-dawn hours Saturday and arrested a local man, charging him with possessing narcotics with intent to sell, a felony. Police reported finding a “quantity of wax envelopes containing [heroin] on a living room table” at the home of Brian A. Cowell, 34.

Turning their attention to the bedroom, they allegedly found a small bag of cocaine and several glassine envelopes stashed under the bed. Mr. Cowell was additionally charged with possessing drug paraphernalia and scales to weigh drugs, misdemeanors.

Mr. Cowell, who is originally from Southampton, was convicted of the same felony charge in 2006 and is currently on probation. East Hampton Town Justice Lisa R. Rana warned him at his arraignment that he was likely to face violation-of-probation charges as well.

She set bail at $9,000 and bond at $20,000. He was released after being bonded.

Meanwhile, as she was driving from Southampton shortly after 6 a.m. on her way to his arraignment, Mr. Cowell’s wife, Elitsa Cowell, had a bad accident on Montauk Highway in Bridgehampton.

Southampton Town police said Ms. Cowell, who is 29 and gave officers a Southampton address, hit a utility pole and a tree. Her two-door Audi convertible rolled over and came to rest on its roof, across from the Bridgehampton National Bank near Snake Hollow Road.

She was able to walk away but was taken to Southampton Hospital as a precaution. The accident closed the highway between Hildreth and Butter Lanes for about an hour and a half. Police did not say what caused the crash, and Ms. Cowell has not been charged.

In Sag Harbor on Sunday, a couple of irate men ended a brief one-man crime wave. Several cellphones left in cars parked around the village had been reported stolen that morning.

In early afternoon, a traffic control officer, Emily Horn, radioed police that two men were chasing another man. One of the chasers, Roy King, had found his cellphone missing from his car in the 7-Eleven lot, and had spotted a man he believed to be the culprit.

Mr. King and his father gave pursuit and caught up with Justin P. Hay, 30, of Sag Harbor. An officer arrived, and reported that “upon frisking said defendant, he had several bottles of cologne stuffed in his right sock, four cellphones in his right front pocket, and a small, clear, baggy containing two white pills believed to be Alprazolam, clenched in his right hand.”

Mr. Hay was charged with three misdemeanors: petty larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, and criminal possession of a controlled substance. He was taken to Division Street headquarters, processed, and released on $750 bail. He is due to be arraigned on July 7.

Weekdays in Montauk this month have been almost as quiet as the days after Tumbleweed Tuesday, following Labor Day, when legend has it that the hamlet is so slow you can see tumbleweeds blowing through instead of people.

It’s a trend that Bill Becker of Becker’s Hardware has noticed for the past few years, he said on Tuesday. Business in the store picks up on Friday afternoons and then slows again by Monday.

Some business owners say it’s because Memorial Day came early this year and schools are getting out later. Others blame the weather, which Tom Flight of Homeport, Captain Kid Toys, and other stores in the Gosman complex in the harbor area said caused him to have a “disastrous” opening week. His two stores downtown, Homeport Town and Shine, have fared a bit better, especially, he said, during the farmers market held on Thursdays on the downtown green near those two stores.

Mr. Flight said he checks his numbers daily to compare them to previous years and has found a slight drop, but nothing that a few sunny days and more vacationers won’t fix. “We really get the school’s-out crowd down at the docks,” he said.

Diane Hausman, an owner of the Sands Motel downtown, said June is always a bit quieter than the rest of the season, but room reservations are faring well for the rest of the summer.

At the Oceanside Beach Resort, owned by Ken Walles, capacity for June is at about 70 percent. He said he adjusts his room rates on his website and on Booking.com to attract more guests during the lull. In July the place is usually 90 to 95 percent full, and in August it increases to 102 percent, he said, since he can rebook rooms that become available because of early checkouts.

Some restaurant owners are sending their help home early during June, and others are open only Thursday through Sunday until the Fourth of July weekend. Steven Raysor, the manager at Swallow East, a restaurant in the harbor area, blames the weather for the weekday lull. “After the Fourth we’re expecting a really good season,” he said.

At Martell’s Stationery, a variety store that sells newspapers, magazines, and vacation-type toys and crafts for children, among other things, Jim Martell said business this month has been slower than in previous years. “It’s all weather-oriented,” he said, adding that people don’t seem to have disposable income to pay for traditional extras. “I don’t think anyone is doing a booming business during the week.”

Even the cab drivers are experiencing less nighttime business, said Peter Lucas, who drives for Pink Tuna Taxi. On weekends, he said, there are too many cabs, and during the week when outsiders leave to do business elsewhere, the local cabs cannot supplement their income because there is not enough business.

The good news, though, is that the Fourth of July is right around the corner and there will be fireworks, said Laraine Creegan of the Montauk Chamber of Commerce.

Every year as the summer season advances, alcohol-related carnage on local roads keeps pace. This past week was no exception. There were four single-vehicle accidents that sent six people to the hospital; all four drivers were charged with driving while intoxicated, and several other D.W.I. arrests involved drivers whose blood-alcohol content was significantly higher than the legal limit.

Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning was particularly brutal, with two Jeeps crashing and overturning in separate incidents less than 12 hours apart.

On Cranberry Hole Road in Amagansett at about 4:50 p.m., Matthew A. Mosher’s 2011 Jeep Wrangler was speeding as it crossed the hump-backed bridge over the Long Island Rail Road tracks, Det. Sgt. Greg Schaefer said Tuesday. Mr. Mosher, 41, of North Bellmore, lost control and was thrown from the Jeep, which landed on its roof.

He sustained serious injuries. A helicopter was called, and landed in a town-owned field nearby, to transport the injured man to Stony Brook University Hospital’s trauma center. However, Mr. Mosher was taken by ambulance to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital.

East Hampton Town Police Capt. Chris Anderson explained that when a patient is combative, as was apparently the case with Mr. Mosher, a medevac team will not transport him, lest a violent incident occur in the air. Minutes before the accident, Mr. Mosher had been involved in a confrontation with employees at the nearby Amagansett Seafood Store, Captain Anderson said.

He was charged with unlicensed driving in addition to D.W.I., both misdemeanors, as well as misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance and numerous moving violations. An investigation is “an ongoing process,” Captain Anderson said.

Mr. Mosher had been arrested last month by Suffolk County police and charged with aggravated unlicensed driving, as well as driving without a seatbelt. He will be arraigned on the new charges in East Hampton Town Justice Court at a future date.

That night, a 2004 Jeep Cherokee flipped over on Springs-Fireplace Road near Sycamore Drive in Springs. The driver was James Spencer Mans, 19, of Louderville, N.Y. Three other young men, all schoolmates of Mr. Mans’s, were in the Jeep with him. All four were taken to Southampton Hospital after the accident.

The quartet had been drinking at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, they told police. At a little after 3 a.m. they headed back to a house where they were staying. One passenger, Michael Mock, told detectives, “I had fallen asleep during the ride and got woken up by the accident.” He was seated in the back, behind the driver. “I don’t remember exactly what happened,” he said, “but once the car stopped, myself and James Budd helped James out of the driver’s seat.”

At the hospital, Mr. Mans was charged with misdemeanor drunken driving, along with speeding and several other violations. “My car has bad tires, and we lost control,” he told detectives.

He refused to consent to a blood test. Though none of his injuries were considered critical, he was unable to sign the refusal form. His arraignment is scheduled for July 2.

The third crash that ended with a trip to the hospital under arrest, happened in Sag Harbor. Police said Brant J. O’Neill was pulling his 2005 Toyota out of a parking lot on Bridge Street “when he drove straight into a stone wall.”

An officer saw “medications” in in the car, which Mr. O’Neill “stated he took a lot of.” Asked to get out of the car, he “fell straight to the ground, hitting his head.” He was additionally charged with driving under the influence of drugs before being taken to Southampton Hospital, where he was admitted. He will be arraigned in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court on July 7.

The fourth alcohol-related crash last week did not end with a trip to the hospital, but did leave a 2004 Volvo with severe front-end damage.

“The steering wheel went out of control, and I crashed,” Kori Rosi Fleisch­man, 21, of Scotch Plains, N.J., told police early on the morning of June 10 after her car went off Stephen Hand’s Path in East Hampton and hit two trees. Her blood-alcohol content was said to be .11 of 1 percent. She was released later that morning without bail.

Ryan Charles Glasson, 32, was driving a 1990 Jeep on Pudding Hill Lane, where he lives, early last Thursday morning, when East Hampton Village police pulled him over on a traffic stop. Mr. Glasson was convicted of drunken driving in California in 2006; because of that, he faces a charge of felony D.W.I. “I had a couple of drinks,” he reportedly told police. “I’m coming from Montauk.”

After finding that his license had been suspended or revoked multiple times, police also charged Mr. Glasson with three counts of aggravated unlicensed driving, including one at the felony level. His Jeep was impounded, as required under county law. He refused to take the breath test at Cedar Street headquarters, and was held for arraignment later that morning.

Justice Steven Tekulsky set bail at $1,000, which was posted.

Two people facing misdemeanor D.W.I. charges serve alcohol professionally.

Robert Knips of Brooklyn, 32, whose 2014 Dodge pickup had been stopped in Montauk, told Justice Tekulsky in court last Thursday that he is a bartender in Manhattan. After his arrest, police asked him where he was going. “From Sloppy Tuna to Liar’s,” he reportedly answered. His breath test was said to have registered .17, just missing the .18 reading that would have triggered a charge of aggravated D.W.I. He was released later that morning without bail.

Katherine E. Mahoney of Springs, 24, told police on June 10 after her early morning arrest that she was a bartender at Wolfie’s Tavern in Springs. Her reading was also .17, and she too was freed without bail.

Another Springs resident, Michael Jurado, 49, was pulled over early Friday in a 2009 Mercedes. Though he claimed to have had only one cocktail with dinner “about an hour ago,” his blood-alcohol content was reported to be .21, elevating the misdemeanor charge to the aggravated level. He was released without bail, as was Toby J. Logue of Montauk, 40, who had been stopped on Essex Street early on June 9. His reading was .13.

A Wappinger Falls, N.Y., man, Adam J. Trapani, 39, had a particularly bad Saturday in Montauk. He was in the hamlet on business, he told the court after his early-morning arrest, and was at 668 Gig Shack on Main Street when someone picked his pocket. An employee found his wallet, but without his cash. He then drove off in a 2014 Jeep, but ran a stop sign, police said, about 50 yards on.

At 2:01 a.m. Saturday, Mr. Trapani was placed under arrest on a charge of D.W.I. A reported reading of .18 triggered an aggravated-level charge.

Justice Lisa R. Rana asked Mr. Trapani how much bail he could manage to post. “I got my pocket picked last night. They took all my cash.”

She released him without bail but with a future date on her criminal calendar.
