Jean C. Ruiz Guaman, 22, of Hampton Bays, was arrested by East Hampton Town Police on a misdemeanor DWI charge a little before midnight on November 4. For Ruiz Guaman, it is the third time he has been charged with misdemeanor DWI in a little more than a year. He already has an open charge of misdemeanor DWI in East Hampton Town Justice Court, stemming from an arrest last year, as well as an open case of misdemeanor DWI charged by Southampton Town Police in March of this year. He’s also currently facing multiple misdemeanor charges of unlicensed driving. According to East Hampton Town Police, the November 4 arrest happened after Ruiz Guaman, driving a 2017 GMC vehicle without any license plates on Oakview Highway in East Hampton, moving at 45 mph where the speed limit is 30, made a turn without signaling and ran a stop sign. After being pulled over, Ruiz Guaman appeared intoxicated and failed roadside sobriety tests, the arresting officer reported. After his arrest, at police headquarters, he refused to take a breath test. Because of that refusal, Ruiz Guaman’s already suspended New York State driving privileges were suspended yet again for another year by East Hampton Town Justice David Filer.
