Bryan Mora, age 25, of Central Islip, was arrested around 2:20 a.m., Wednesday, June 29 on 5th Avenue in Bay Shore.
Sheriff’s deputies spotted Mora failing to maintain his lane of travel by swerving over the white hash marks separating the lanes of travel several times, said Sgt. Paul Spinella, of the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies stopped the vehicle and Mora could not perform standardized field sobriety tests to standard, Spinella said.

Mora had a prior conviction for driving while intoxicated on April 26. Due to the prior conviction and the high blood alcohol content, his car was impounded and he was charged with felony aggravated DWI, police said.
He faces a minimum $1,000 fine, up to 4 years in jail, and a minimum 18-month driver’s license revocation., Spinella said,
