Police impound two cars from alleged drunken drivers who were driving with suspended licenses.
The following information was supplied by the East Hampton Town Police Department. A criminal charge is only an accusation and does not indicate guilt.
• Galo B. Guanga-Tacuri, 51, of Montauk, is being held on $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond at the Suffolk County jail after he was found driving drunk and with a suspended license, police said.
According to police, they saw his 2006 Honda almost strike several trees n Old Stone Highway, near Albert's Landing Road, in Amagansett on Sept. 1 at about 9:50 p.m. Police also said he made an improper left turn onto Red Dirt Road, driving into the opposite lane. He was stopped on Red Dirt Road, near Old Stone Highway, and appeared intoxicated, police said.
A search with the State Department Motor Vehicles found that his license had been suspended several times between 2006 and 2007. His vehicle was impounded due to a previous alcohol related suspension, police said.
Guanga-Tacuri was charged with first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a felony, and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated, though police said he refused to take an Intoxilyzer.
