A Bridgehampton man was arrested on charges of illegal firearms possession on Saturday night following a traffic stop on East Hampton Main Street shortly after 8.

East Hampton Village police charged Alexis Ramirez-Reyes, 19, with three counts of criminal possession of a weapon, two of them felonies and the third a misdemeanor that indicates a firearm was loaded. Police did not specify the number or type of guns involved.

In addition, police charged Mr. Ramirez-Reyes with obstructing government administration and resisting arrest, both class-A misdemeanors. The officer also wrote Mr. Ramirez-Reyes three traffic tickets and one violation for allegedly driving his 2003 Jeep without a valid license.

The next morning, Town Justice Steven Tekulsky arraigned Mr. Ramirez- Reyes and set bail at $10,000 cash, $20,000 bond, or $75,000 partially secured bond. Mr. Ramirez-Reyes could not post bail and was remanded to police custody in Yaphank; his next court date is tomorrow.
