Maria Jacqeline Torres Tenemaza, 29, of Springs was charged with first-time misdemeanor DWI in East Hampton on Saturday night by East Hampton Town Police. According to police, she was behind the wheel of a 2015 Mitsubishi headed north on Springs Fireplace Road near West Drive when, the arresting officer reported, she began swerving across the double yellow line into the oncoming lane multiple times, leading to the traffic stop. Upon interviewing her, he believed her intoxicated, based on his experience and training, he reported. It is not clear from the redacted report whether she agreed to do roadside sobriety tests or not. Torres Tenemaza was placed under arrest and taken to police headquarters in Wainscott where a breath test, according to the police, produced a reading of .19, over twice the reading in New York State of .08 that defines intoxication for a driver. Any reading of .18 or higher in New York after an arrest on DWI charges results in a raised charge of aggravated DWI.
Robert Alan Shrage, 41, who splits his time between Port St. Lucie, Florida, and Oxford, Connecticut, was charged with first-time misdemeanor DWI after he was pulled over by a Town Police officer on Montauk Highway. The officer reported that the 2017 Jeep that Shrage was driving was doing 70 mph east of the Montauk recycling center going downhill toward downtown Montauk, where the speed limit is 40 mph. Based on the officer’s experience, according to the report, he believed Shrage possibly intoxicated, and had him perform roadside sobriety tests. The officer stated in his report that Shrage failed them all. After Shrage’s arrest, he was taken to police headquarters in Wainscott, where a breath test produced a reading of .17, according to police.
