Thu, 01/30/2025 - 09:19

East Hampton Village police made one felony-level arrest on a charge of aggravated drunken driving early on Monday morning.

Manuel Choya, 52, of East Hampton, was reportedly seen by police swerving out of his traffic lane in a 2010 GMC Sierra while driving on Montauk Highway; police did not specify where. After investigation, the police deemed Mr. Choya intoxicated and placed him under arrest. It was his second drunken-driving arrest, according to police.

Mr. Choya was released the next day on his own recognizance by East Hampton Town Justice David Filer.

Another man was charged with violating an order of protection, a class-E felony, after police say he arrived at the home of a protected person on Boatheader’s Lane on the night of Jan. 19.

Sergio Salazar-Dominguez, 42, reportedly arrived at the house and tried to gain entry by knocking and attempting to open the door. Previously, East Hampton Justice Steven Tekulsky issued a no-contact order, dated Jan. 18, 2023.

Justice Tekulsky arraigned Mr. Salazar-Dominguez the next day, releasing him on his own recognizance.
