Donald Disbrow, 57, of Sag Harbor, who also has a South Carolina address, was arrested by Sag Harbor Village Police on the night of April 22 after a minor accident on Bay Street. Police had been called to the scene by the driver of the other vehicle, who told them that Disbrow, behind the wheel of a 2019 GMC with South Carolina plates, backed out of a parking space into the side of the 2022 GMC Sierra the complainant was driving, damaging it. When the officer who responded to the scene interviewed Disbrow, he reported that Disbrow appeared intoxicated and had him perform roadside sobriety tests, which Disbrow failed, police said. At police headquarters on Division Street, where Disbrow was taken after his arrest, he refused to take a breath test, according to the arrest report. The next morning, Sag Harbor Village Associate Justice Carl Benincasa suspended Disbrow’s driving privileges in New York State for the next year, due to that refusal to take the breath test at headquarters the night before. Because Disbrow’s driver’s license is out of South Carolina, the judge was not able to take that away.
