Antonio A. Cabrera, 32, of East Hampton was arrested last month, accused of running a skateboarder off the road on purpose. According to police, Mr. Cabrera was driving a 2016 Ford on Cove Hollow Road, near Buckskill Road, in East Hampton on July 24 when he crossed over the double yellow line in the direction of a skateboarder, who was on the shoulder. The skateboarder was not named.

According to the police report, Mr. Cabrera then turned his car around and drove at a high rate of speed, crossing over the shoulder and off the road, forcing the skateboarder to jump off his skateboard and take cover behind a tree in order to avoid being struck and seriously injured.

Mr. Cabrera was charged with reckless driving and reckless endangerment in the second degree, both misdemeanors.
