1. "William Floyd High School principal Philip Scotto has been named the '2022 Man of the Year' by The Chamber of Commerce of the Mastics and Shirley for his efforts in helping William Floyd High School succeed, and his love for the district and community. He will be honored at a dinner on April 28, at Sunset Harbour in East Patchogue," according to a recent press release. (Press Release Desk)
2. Francisco Andres-Miguel, 45, a Flanders man "was arrested Sunday night after he drove drunk with three children in his SUV and almost hit a New York State trooper in Riverhead," police said. Andres-Miguel had a prior conviction and also, was charged with aggravated DWI with a child under the Leandra's Law — as well as with endangering the welfare of a child. "In addition, Andres-Miguel had an active stay-away order of protection preventing him from being with the three children in the vehicle, and as a result, he was also charged with second-degree criminal contempt, a misdemeanor," police said.
