Judith A. Mayer, 68, of East Hampton was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs following an accident in East Hampton on Sunday morning at about 11:30 a.m.

Police said she was driving a 2018 Land Rover heading north on Abraham’s Path, near Town Lane, when she hit a utility pole, causing heavy front-end damage to the vehicle. No injuries were reported.

According to the accident report, Ms. Mayer was under the influence of prescription medication and charged just after noon with operating a motor vehicle impaired by drugs, a misdemeanor.

East Hampton Town Justice Lisa R. Rana arraigned her on Monday, releasing her on her own recognizance.
