Here are the top stories in Center Moriches-Eastport today:

1. In response to the unfortunate incident of a 4-year-olds' death, online court documents stated that "Amy Wesolowski, 34, was indicted and charged on March 15 by a Suffolk County grand jury on one count of felony manslaughter, child passenger killed; one count of felony aggravated DWI with a child, or Leandra's Law, first offense; one count of driving while ability impaired by drugs; a misdemeanor; one count of endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor; and one count of third-degree unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a misdemeanor." (Riverhead Patch)
2. Veronica Pezdan, a 28-year-old former Shoreham/Wading River High School teacher, admitted to having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old male student for a two-month span last year. Pezsan was sentenced by Suffolk County Judge Steven Pilewski to 10 years of probation after she pleaded guilty in December to a charge of third-degree rape. Ten other counts were dropped in exchange for her plea. (Dan's Papers)
3. Lauren Pazienza, 26, a Long Island events coordinator, has handed herself into police for the death of an 86-year-old vocal coach, Barbara Maier Gustern. On March 10, Gustern was shoved from behind and she hit her head on the sidewalk during the attack. Gustern died five days later, the NYPD said. (Subscription: Newsday)
