Juan Farez was led out of East Hampton Town Justice Court on Sunday after being arraigned on a felony D.W.I. charge. Police said he was going 80 miles per hour in a 30-m.p.h. zone.

Two drivers with drunken-driving records were charged with felony driving while intoxicated last weekend after police said they were caught driving at excessive speeds. 

Juan P. Farez, 34, of Springs was going 80 miles per hour in a 30 m.p.h. zone as he headed south in a 2017 Cadillac on Fort Pond Boulevard on Saturday at about 3:25 a.m., police said. The officer also said Mr. Farez failed to stop at a stop sign and to stay in his lane. He performed poorly on all field sobriety tests, according to police, and was arrested just before 4 a.m. 

He was charged with felony D.W.I. due to a prior drunken-driving conviction within the past 10 years. East Hampton Town Justice Lisa R. Rana arraigned him later on Saturday morning and released him on $1,000 bail. 

The following evening, police said they caught a woman driving a 2010 Jeep at 95 m.p.h. in a 55 m.p.h. zone in Amagansett. Angel M. Guillen, 37, of Southampton was headed west on Montauk Highway, near Dune Lane, at about 7:50 p.m. Police said she appeared intoxicated when she was stopped and performed poorly on field sobriety tests. 

Ms. Guillen was charged with felony D.W.I. at 8:30 p.m. Police also found that the Jeep she was driving was supposed to be equipped with an ignition interlock device, which will not start if it detects alcohol on the driver’s breath. She was charged with a misdemeanor for not complying with the restrictions on her license from the previous conviction. She was held overnight for arraignment. Justice Rana released her on $1,000 bail. 

A Westhampton man was arrested on a misdemeanor D.W.I. charge on Saturday afternoon. Rene Saban-Tinti was behind the wheel of a 2011 Chevrolet headed east on Abraham’s Path, near Birdie Lane, in East Hampton when po-

lice said they noticed him swerving onto the grassy shoulder at about 12:17 p.m. He appeared intoxicated, according to police, and was taken into custody at 12:30 p.m. He was held overnight and arraigned on Sunday. Justice Rana released him on his own recognizance. 

On March 17, Sarah Collins Kelly, 41, of Brooklyn was arrested on a drunken-driving charge in Amagansett. Police said she was driving a 2016 Volkswagen west on Montauk Highway, near Dune Lane, at about 1:50 a.m., when she failed to dim the headlights for oncoming traffic. During the traffic stop, police found her to be intoxicated, and she was charged with driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, at 2:24 a.m. Justice Steven Tekulsky released her on her own recognizance.
