A Bridgehampton man was arrested on charges of illegal firearms possession on Saturday night following a traffic stop on East Hampton Main Street shortly after 8. 

East Hampton Village police charged Alexis Ramirez-Reyes, 19, with three counts of criminal possession of a weapon, two of them felonies and the third a misdemeanor that indicates a firearm was loaded. Police did not specify the number or type of guns involved.

In addition, police charged Mr. Ramirez-Reyes with obstructing government administration and resisting arrest, both class-A misdemeanors. The officer also wrote Mr. Ramirez-Reyes three traffic tickets and one violation for allegedly driving his 2003 Jeep without a valid license. 

The next morning, Town Justice Steven Tekulsky arraigned Mr. Ramirez- Reyes and set bail at $10,000 cash, $20,000 bond, or $75,000 partially secured bond. Mr. Ramirez-Reyes could not post bail and was remanded to police custody in Yaphank; his next court date is tomorrow. 

Convicted Man Given Grace

Darius Petty, who last year was accused of kidnapping and robbing three young men at gunpoint in the parking lot of the East Hampton Senior Center, and was sentenced in June to three years in prison, was released from custody in July for a monthlong “grace period” before his incarceration. On Tuesday, Suffolk Supreme Court Justice Timothy P. Mazzei agreed to extend the time for an additional month.
