A Springs man who recently finished his term of parole following a stint in county jail is back behind bars after being pulled over in a traffic stop around midnight on Sunday

Two men were arrested last weekend by East Hampton Town police on misdemeanor drunken-driving charges.

For years it has been a given in East Hampton and across the East End that calls to the police and resulting arrests were on an upward trend. During the first quarter of 2018, however, local police jurisdictions as well as police across the county saw the trend reversed.
