Two Charged Are No Strangers to Police

Two local men, neither of whom is a stranger to local police, are facing felony charges after being accused last week of driving while intoxicated.

Juan D. Cano, 20, currently living in Montauk, was driving a 2015 Nissan when he was pulled over by East Hampton Town police just before midnight last Thursday. Police said he was speeding on Springs-Fireplace Road in Springs before turning onto School Street, where the stop was made. Placed under arrest on a misdemeanor D.W.I. charge, he consented to take a breath test back at headquarters, producing a blood-alcohol level reading of 0.09, just above the level that triggers the charge.

More problematic for Mr. Cano is an additional charge filed against him that night of driving without a license. His driver’s license, which was suspended last year after he pleaded guilty to driving with ability impaired by drugs, has not yet been restored, resulting in an automatic felony count of unlicensed driving.

The new charges will likely complicate Mr. Cano’s status in county court, where he is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty in June to a felony charge of burglary, following his arrest in April by town police. A second burglary charge was dropped in exchange for the guilty plea. Mr. Cano is likely to receive a chilly reception when he returns to State Supreme Court Justice John B. Collins’s courtroom in Riverside for sentencing on Dec. 9.

Meanwhile, still pending against him in East Hampton Town Justice Court is a charge of harassment, as well as a misdemeanor charge of violating the order of protection against him held by his mother. Mr. Cano could not put up bail of $5,000, set for him in the local court on Friday morning, and was taken to the county jail, where he remained as of Tuesday afternoon.

East Hampton Village police arrested Angel E. Balboa-Tenezaca, 42, of Amagansett early Sunday morning on Woods Lane, saying that his 2002 Chevrolet had been speeding. He was also cited for insufficient taillights and failing to maintain his lane of travel.

Mr. Balboa-Tenezaca, who has a prior drunken-driving conviction, was charged with felony D.W.I. as well as felony unlicensed driving. Initially unable to post $5,000 bail, he was taken to Riverside, where he spent Sunday night before being bailed out the next day.
