Luis Adrian Calvache Rodriguez, 35, of Shirley was charged with misdemeanor aggravated DWI on Sunday evening by East Hampton Village Police. Calvache Rodriguez was behind the wheel of a 2024 Hyundai Tucson traveling west after sunset on Montauk Highway near Cove Hollow Road without turning on his headlights or taillights and was, at the same time, tailgating the vehicle in front of him, leading to the traffic stop and arrest, according to police. He appeared extremely intoxicated, police said, and failed roadside sobriety tests. At headquarters, a breath test to measure the level of alcohol in his system resulted in a reading in excess of .30, well over the .08 mark that defines intoxication in New York, and in excess of the .18 reading that raises a DWI charge to the aggravated level. The reading was so high that, as a precautionary measure, Calvache Rodriguez was transported to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital to be treated for possible alcohol poisoning. It is protocol for law enforcement to do so when a blood alcohol content reading comes in at .30 or higher. Calvache Rodriguez was released to the hospital’s care with an appearance ticket calling for him to be arraigned in East Hampton Town Justice Court on January 22.
Maria Teresa Paredes-Encalada, 49, of East Hampton was arrested early Monday evening by East Hampton Village Police on misdemeanor charges of DWI. Police said Paredes-Encalada was driving a 2017 Chevrolet Suburban on Montauk Highway near Buckskill Road and was swerving across lane lines, leading to a traffic stop, and ultimately her arrest. The arresting officer believed Paredes-Encalada possibly intoxicated and asked her to perform roadside sobriety tests, which she reportedly failed. At headquarters, a breath test reading reportedly came in at .15, justifying the charges, police said. Paredes-Encalada was held overnight and was released Tuesday after being arraigned but not before her driver’s license was suspended.
