In the early morning hours of Feb. 12, 26-year-old Peter Vaziri of East Hampton was westbound in a black 2018 Mazda on Montauk Highway near Bunker Hill Road in Amagansett, when, according to East Hampton Town police, he crossed the shoulder and hit a fence.
An officer at the scene noticed a strong odor of alcohol, and reported that the driver’s speech was slurred. Mr. Vaziri performed poorly on the standard field sobriety tests, the officer noted.
Charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated, Mr. Vaziri was held for an appearance in East Hampton Justice Court later that morning. He was released on his own recognizance, and is due back in court on March 17.
