EAST HAMPTON VILLAGE — East Hampton Village Police arrested a Shirley man, Antonio Alejandro Cabrera, 38, on a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest, as well as a violation charge of disorderly conduct, around noon on November 25. Cabrera, police reported, first interacted with them a little after 9 that morning when he was asked to leave the construction supply store on Railroad Avenue because he was being unruly. It appears from the arrest report that Cabrera then followed another individual from the train station onto Newtown Lane, pushing a bicycle along as he followed the man. That man complained to police that Cabrera was harassing him, continually blocking his path with a bicycle. The officer reported then seeing Cabrera push the bicycle out into the middle of Newtown Lane, deliberately stopping traffic, as well as attempt to pull down a traffic control sign. The officer also reported seeing a pocket knife in Cabrera’s back pocket and, based on the allegations that had already been made, as well as what he had witnessed, told Cabrera to stop and that he was being detained. Cabrera refused, saying “Don’t touch me.” Cabrera physically resisted being arrested, the officer said, though he was able to handcuff him before fellow officers arrived to assist. Cabrera was taken to headquarters on Cedar Street, where he was booked and released, to be arraigned in East Hampton Town Justice Court next week. Police reported that Cabrera is also currently on probation and notified the Suffolk County probation department of the arrest.
MONTAUK — East Hampton Town Police arrested an Ossining man, Andres M. Rodriguez Naranjo, 34, on a misdemeanor charge of criminal contempt in the second degree on the morning of November 26. The arresting officer first interacted with Rodriguez Naranjo in the public lot by the IGA. The officer said Rodriguez Naranjo had the keys in the ignition, engine running, in a 2002 Chevrolet SUV. Rodriguez Naranjo had a passenger in the car, as well as two open bottles of wine, the officer reported. Rodriguez Naranjo appeared possibly intoxicated and failed sobriety tests and was placed under arrest, police said. At headquarters, a breath test produced a reading of .07, below the .08 mark that defines intoxication in New York State, but high enough to justify a violation level charge of operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol. The misdemeanor change was made because the passenger in the vehicle was the same person for whom East Hampton Town Justice David Filer issued a “refrain from” order of protection. The court order allows the couple to stay together, but specifically prohibits Rodriguez Naranjo from consuming alcohol in the presence of the protected party.
