Ecuadorean Detained After Arrest | The East Hampton Star

A Springs man was picked up by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Friday from the Suffolk County jail in Riverside, one day after he was scheduled to be released. He had been held on a detainer request.

According to Rachael Yong Yow, an ICE spokeswoman, “Andy Michael Sanchez-Jaramillo, a citizen and national of Ecuador, entered the United States legally in January 2017 on a non-immigrant visa, but failed to depart the United States in accordance with the terms of the visa.”

Mr. Sanchez-Jaramillo had been arrested by East Hampton Town police on Feb. 17 on a misdemeanor drunken-driving charge, as well as a felony charge of unlicensed driving. He had not been able to make bail. Because of the felony charge, the district attorney was required to obtain an indictment by Feb. 2 or release him.

However, instead of being released, he was arrested again by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department and transferred to an area in the county jail rented by ICE.

Mr. Sanchez-Jaramillo, who has now been moved to an ICE detention center in Hudson County, N.J., “will remain in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings,” Ms. Yong Yow said Tuesday.

Employees of Montauk's Memory Motel called police at 1:25 a.m. Saturday to have a man “known to them to have no money” removed from the bar. The man had been refusing to leave, but complied when the request came from an officer. He promised to take a train or bus back home to Brooklyn, but showed up a couple of hours later at 7-Eleven, attempting to use “multiple bank cards” to pay for merchandise. He was also said to have made “a threatening statement,” and was taken in the end to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital for evaluation.

On April 30, police got a call from a passer-by about “a male subject opening doors with a crowbar” at the Sands Motel. Upon investigation, it was learned that the man was an employee performing renovations and maintenance. “The salt air environment often causes the door locks to freeze, therefore he has to force the doors open with a bar,” officers reported.
