Three motorists have court dates coming up following their arrests for failure to produce licenses or registration.

Paulo Molina of East Elmhurst and Amil Soyos-Chamale of Riverhead were both charged with unlicensed operation and will be in East Hampton Justice Court on Wednesday and on Friday, April 16, respectively. Mr. Soyos-Chamale, who was picked up in Sag Harbor, faces another charge as well, expired inspection.

Tsisnami Sakvarlishvili of Amagansett, who hit a utility pole at the intersection of Further and Tyson Lanes in East Hampton "due to distracted driving," police said, was charged for suspended registration; he too will appear on the 16th.

Andrew Jurkiewicz of East Hampton, whom village police reportedly clocked at 44 miles per hour in a 25 m.p.h. zone, appeared in court yesterday on charges of speeding and aggravated unlicensed operation.
