Village Police Logs: Teen Found with Pot, Stolen Credit Card

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

• A 17-year-old East Hampton girl was arrested after she was pulled over smoking marijuana and found in possession of a stolen credit card on Oct. 6 at about 10:15 p.m. Police said they pulled her over at the rest area on Montauk Highway, near Stephen Hands Path, in a 2011 GMC because it had no license plate lights. There was a story odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle, police said, and they found a marijuana cigarette in the glove box. Her wallet reportedly contained a Bank of America credit card that belonged to someone else. She was charged with criminal possession of stolen property, a felony, unlawful possession of marijuana and inadequate tail lights, both violations. Police withheld her name due to her age.

• Elias F. Galarza-Cordero, 34, of Springs, was also arrested on several charges after he was pulled over on Main Street, near David's Lane, for driving with only one headlight on Oct. 8 at about 9:15 p.m. Police said he gave them a fake name and said he didn't have a license. A search of the vehicle found an Ecuadorian passport with his real name on it.

When they checked with the State Department of Motor Vehicles, they found his license had been suspended and revoked. They also said he was driving without an Ignition Interlock device, which he was ordered to use after a drunken driving conviction, and without a valid license.

He was charged with operating a motor vehicle without an Ignition Interlock device, false personation, second-degree and third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, all misdemeanors, and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and inadequate lights, which are violations. At headquarters, he was issued an appearance ticket and released on $300 bail. He will be arraigned in East Hampton Town Justice Court on Nov. 8.
