Police Logs: Cuffs Slapped on Drivers After Crashes

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.

A resident of a nearby house checked on Somers after hearing the crash, and Somers asked to use their restroom. When police responded, they found Somers in the restroom. He appeared to be intoxicated. He performed poorly on field sobriety tests, and was placed under arrest. Police said he was previously convicted of DWI in 2004.
