Escaped 'Through the Trunk'

Thu, 10/27/2022 - 09:16

Lori Barnaby of Southampton, 63, was driving on Main Street near Howard Street in Sag Harbor on Friday night when her 2011 Acura struck a tree and flipped onto its side. Ms. Barnaby, who, police said, "escaped through the trunk" with assistance from the Sag Harbor Fire Department, was later charged with driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor. She was transported to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital for evaluation, cleared by medical personnel, taken back to Sag Harbor police headquarters, and then held overnight for a morning arraignment. The Acura, heavily damaged, was towed from the scene.

On the evening of Oct. 10, East Hampton Town police stopped Edwin Soliz-Soliz of Hampton Bays, 27, on Town Lane near Spring Close Highway in East Hampton after reportedly spotting his 2006 Honda swerving back and forth over the double yellow lines. The driver performed poorly on field sobriety tests, police said, and, after submitting to a blood-alcohol content test, was charged with two misdemeanor counts of drunken driving.
