Police Logs: Drunken Driver Ignored Red Light in Wainscott

The following information was supplied by the East Hampton Town Police Department. A criminal charge is only an accusation and does not indicate guilt.

• Carlos I. Orellana, 43, of Southampton, was arrested on a felony driving while intoxicated charge due to a prior conviction within the past 10 years on March 12 in Wainscott. Police pulled Orellana over after he allegedly drove through the red light on Montauk Highway at the intersection of Wainscott-Northwest Road at about 7:15 p.m. He appeared intoxicated and failed all field sobriety tests, police said. His vehicle was seized due to the previous conviction in the Town of Southampton in 2004. East Hampton Town Justice Catherine A. Cahill released him on $1,500 bail.

Cops: Defendant Told Not To Text

• Romeo V. Pitt, 37, of Bridgehampton, was arrested on two misdemeanor charges after police said he texted someone from whom he was ordered to stay away. The victim received three text messages back-to-back from Pitt's cellphone on March 14. When Pitt was escorted to East Hampton Town police headquarters on March 15, he complained of a severe headache and said that his legs were shaking. A Sag Harbor ambulance transported Pitt to Southampton Hospital, where he was treated and released. He was arraigned on charges of aggravated harassment and second-degree criminal contempt. East Hampton Town Justice Lisa R. Rana released him on $500 bail.

Alcohol Related Offenses

• Danny F. Zuleta, 29, of Southampton, was arrested on a misdemeanor DWI charge on March 16 after police said he failed to observe a stop sign at the intersection fo Abraham's Path and Town Lane in Amagansett. He was pulled over at about 1:50 a.m. In addition, he was charged with third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a misdemeanor. Justice Rana released him on his own recognizance.

• Mauricio A. Montoya, 29, of East Hampton, was arrested on charges that he was driving with a suspended license and without an Ignition Interlock device to check his breath for alcohol. He was stopped on Edgemere Street, near South Edison Street Extension, in Montauk on March 12 at about 5:10 p.m., after police said he failed to use head lights during poor visibility. A check of his license revealed it had been suspended in January for failure to pay a driver responsibility assessment fee and that it had been revoked twice in 2011 following a DWI charge. His vehicle was impounded due to the alcohol-related suspension, police said. Charged with two misdemeanors, including aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the second degree, Montyoa was released on a $150 appearance ticket.
