In a separate incident, a Greenport man was arrested on a driving while intoxicated charge in Cutchogue last night, after a motorist called police to report a vehicle weaving in and out of lane on Main Road.
Police said the caller reported a 2000 Jeep was failing to stay in its lane of travel on Main Road in Cutchogue. Responding officers located the vehicle and determined its operator, Carlos Osorio, 50, was intoxicated, according to a police report. He failed roadside sobriety tests and was arrested, transported to police headquarters, processed and held for arraignment, police said.
Osorio was also charged with unlicensed operation, police said.
