One Nabbed in the Village, Two in the Town

Wed, 10/12/2022 - 17:52

There were three arrests for driving while intoxicated in East Hampton Town this week and one in the village.

Just before midnight on Monday, town police stopped Manuel Pesantez-Maldonado’s 2007 Chevrolet van on Three Mile Harbor Road near Tub Oarsman’s Road in East Hampton. Officers said the East Hampton man, 43, had failed to maintain his lane. Mr. Pesantez-Maldonado consented to a blood-alcohol test and was eventually charged with two misdemeanor D.W.I. offenses.

Mayra Fajardo-Fajardo of East Hampton, 27, driving a 2010 black Mazda, was charged with the same two misdemeanors, on Monday at about 4 a.m. She told police she’d swerved to avoid a deer and instead hit a fence, on Town Lane near Accabonac Road in East Hampton, but failed the field tests before being charged.

Early Sunday night in Montauk, Camila Hernandez-Gomis, 30, of that hamlet, was stopped on Jericho Road by East Hampton Village police. She admitted to police that she’d consumed “a hot toddy and a mimosa” before failing the sobriety tests, and faces numerous driving-related violations and a single count of misdemeanor D.W.I.

Frank Congiu of Westport, Conn., 40, was driving a 2014 Maserati on Hog Creek Road in Springs early on Sunday morning when town police pulled him over, saying he’d failed to report an accident. After failing the roadside tests, Mr. Congiu consented to a blood-alcohol test, and was charged with two misdemeanor counts of D.W.I.
