David Kahn of East Hampton, 61, was pulled over on Montauk Highway near Dune Lane in Amagansett at around 8 a.m. on Sept. 9; police said they’d clocked him at 80 miles an hour in a 55-m.p.h. zone, and that he’d crossed the double yellow line “to pass numerous vehicles in an unsafe manner.” The car smelled like marijuana, they added, and the driver exhibited signs of “cannabis intoxication.” A blood-alcohol test was “inconsistent with the degree of impairment exhibited by the defendant.” A blood test was then administered; results are pending.
