Three drunken driving arrests reported this week.

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

They said he appeared drunk and was placed under arrest. The only occupant in the car, he was not injured.
