AMAGANSETT — Tyler P. Shaw, 28, of Amagansett was arrested by East Hampton Town Police after a traffic stop on Montauk Highway on Friday night. Police said Shaw was driving a Chevrolet Malibu erratically and appeared intoxicated to the officer who made the traffic stop, then failed roadside sobriety tests. At headquarters, police said a breath test produced a reading of .22, well over the .08 level that defines intoxication in the State of New York, and also an excess of .18 level that automatically raised the misdemeanor DWI charge against Shaw to the aggravated level.
MONTAUK — Kevin A. Cosgrove, 24, a resident of Whitestone, Queens, was charged by Town Police with misdemeanor DWI early Sunday morning. Police said he was headed west leaving downtown Montauk, while tailgating the vehicle in front of him at an extremely close distance, and repeatedly swerving over the double yellow line, leading to a traffic stop, and, ultimately, his arrest. After his arrest, police said, he was taken to Town Police headquarters in Wainscott, where Cosgrove refused to take a breath test. Because of that refusal, later that morning during his arraignment, East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky suspended his driving privileges for the next year, pending a hearing to be conducted by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Tekulsky warned Cosgrove that if he was caught driving while his driving privileges are suspended, he could face jail time.
