Driver Faces Drug Charge
Caylynn McMaster, 27, was charged on the afternoon of June 20 with criminal possession of oxycodone and driving while impaired by drugs, both misdemeanors. East Hampton Town police said she had been driving erratically on Route 114, and that they found the car on Goodfriend Drive with her in the driver's seat apparently passed out. Asked to exit the car, she was "unsteady on her feet," according to the report, which said that 11 blue pills stamped "M30" were found in the center console of her 2014 Volkswagen. Ms. McMaster was held overnight and appeared in court before Justice Steven Tekulsky the next morning.
