Daniel Esteban Jadan Penaloza, 31, of East Hampton was arrested by East Hampton Town Police on misdemeanor DWI charges early Tuesday morning. Police said Jadan Penaloza was pulled over behind the wheel of a 2022 Toyota crossover utility vehicle on Three Mile Harbor Road on the northbound shoulder, keys in the ignition and engine running. The arresting officer conducted a “well-being check” and, after speaking with Jadan Penaloza, believed him possibly intoxicated. Jadan Penaloza failed roadside sobriety tests and told the officer that he had been drinking cocktails, according to the report. He was placed under arrest and taken to headquarters where a breath test produced a reading of .17, which is over twice the .08 mark that defines intoxication in the State of New York. He was arraigned later that morning in front of East Hampton Town Justice David Filer, who suspended Jadan Penaloza’s driving privileges in the state.
