At approximately 11:43 p.m. Friday, Nov. 5, while transporting a separate individual arrested for driving while intoxicated, Suffolk County Sheriff’s Deputies passed a driver heading westbound in the eastbound lanes of Sunrise Highway in Shirley, nearly crashing into the Sheriff’s Office vehicle, said Sgt. Paul Spinella.
The deputies immediately radioed for assistance and another deputy unit managed to stop the driver on Sunrise Highway near exit 58, said Spinella.
Dawn Clark, age 56, of Mastic Beach, consented to a breath test and registered a blood alcohol content of .19 percent, Spinella said, noting the legal limit in the state is .08 percent.
Clark was charged with:
- Driving while intoxicated,
- Second-degree reckless endangerment
It was one of four DWI arrests made by Suffolk Sheriff’s deputies overnight. Also charged were:
