When officers arrived, he was still in the driver’s seat, and stated that “the crash was not his fault, and that the other driver came to a hard stop to make a right turn without signaling and he couldn’t stop in time because he has a big truck,” according to reports. 

Mr. Doraria showed signs of intoxication, including alcohol on his breath. 

In addition to DWI, he also was charged with second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle.

• A 27-year-old Mastic Man was pulled over at the Riverside traffic circle for a not wearing a seat belt, and wound up with additional charges as well.

Mr. Miles was arrested at the scene and charged with a seat belt violation, driving without a license and other violations. He was released in the field and is due back in Southampton Town Court at a later date.

• Alexander Morean Ovives of Riverside, 20, was charged Nov. 12 with DWI and numerous other violations, according to Southampton Town police. 

According to police, an officer pulled Mr. Ovives over on Flanders Road, conducted a traffic stop and, upon interview, observed that he had bloodshot, glassy eyes and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath. While exiting the vehicle, reports said, Mr. Ovives was unsteady on his feet and had poor coordination. He performed poorly on field sobriety tests and a pre-screen breath test administered roadside showed a positive result for alcohol, according to police.
