Only one drunken-driving arrest was made over the course of the last week. East Hampton Town police charged Jose R. Llivisaca-Nieves, 45, who lives in the town, on Sunday during a routine traffic stop.
Police said he was driving south on Stephen Hand’s Path in East Hampton at about 9:30 p.m. when an officer on patrol noticed his 2001 Nissan had inadequate headlights. He was pulled over near Route 114. When he showed signs of being intoxicated, police asked him to perform field sobriety tests, which he did poorly on, according to their report. He was arrested at about 10 p.m.
Mr. Llivisaca-Nieves was charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated, and held overnight at police headquarters in Wainscott for a morning arraignment. East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky set bail at $250 on Monday, which was posted, and he was released from custody.
