Deven Harrison, 46, of Los Angeles was arrested on misdemeanor DWI charges by Sag Harbor Village Police around midnight on August 19. Police said Harrison was driving a 2023 Nissan south on Hampton Street, moving at 48 mph in a 35-mph zone. When the arresting officer began to follow Harrison’s vehicle, he reported that Harrison made several maneuvers in which he crossed over the double yellow line, as well as swerving across the white line marking the shoulder area. When the officer turned his emergency lights on to pull Harrison over, he reported that Harrison kept going for about a mile before he finally stopped on Route 114. Harrison appeared intoxicated, the officer reported. The officer asked Harrison to do sobriety tests at the side of the road, but then stopped him from doing so out of concern for his safety, because, the officer reported, he had trouble maintaining his balance when standing. At police headquarters, according to police, a breath test produced a reading of .25, over three times the .08 mark that defines intoxication in the state of New York, and also in excess of the .18 level that automatically raises the charge to the aggravated DWI level.
