NORTH FORK

• Brendan Corbley, 26, of Cutchogue was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated and first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, both felonies, and failing to maintain a lane of traffic on Feb. 3 at 4:57 p.m., after police stopped him on traffic violations on Route 25 in Mattituck, police said. Corbley was arrested and his vehicle was seized due to a prior DWI conviction, police said.

EAST HAMPTON

• Christopher M. Forsberg, 40, of Montauk, was arrested and charged with drunken driving, a felony due to a prior conviction, and resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, in Montauk on Feb. 1.

Police reportedly saw Forsberg's Subaru pull out of a parking lot and make a left onto West Lake Drive at a high rate of speed, and then drive off and onto the roadway, just after 11 p.m. Police pulled the vehicle over near Duryea Avenue and Forsberg appeared intoxicated, they said. Field sobriety tests that were administered had to be stopped for his safety, according to a police report.

However, when Forsberg was placed under arrest, he refused to get into the patrol car, dropping to the ground, kicking and rolling around, police said. The officer tried to move him, but he "went limp several times," according to his arrest report. Two additional officers were called to the scene and he was taken into custody. At headquarters, Forsberg complained of chest pain and displayed "psychotic behavior," the report said. He was transported to Southampton Hospital for evaluation, and released.

In the morning, Justice Catherine A. Cahill arraigned him and released him on $350 bail.

Firstly, Maude, it is not Sid "Viscious" it is Sid "Viscuous" - look it up.Read More Secondly, all you tinfoil-hat wearing science deniers need to wake the heck up: "STOCKHOLM -- The World Bank says it will increasingly view its efforts to help developing countries fight poverty through a "climate lens." In a report released Wednesday, the international lending institution warned that heat waves, rising seas, more severe storms and other impacts of climate change will trap millions of people in poverty." As a result, the Washington-based bank said it is stepping up support for efforts to curb climate change and to help the world adapt to it. "Urgent action is needed to not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also to help countries prepare for a world of dramatic climate change and weather extremes," World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said in a statement." "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

Maud, very well presented. We as citizens should never be so blind as to have contempt prior toRead More investigation. I would hope all who read your post love the environment as much as it appears you do. If we citizens prefer to be stewards of our own lives and property than we need to stand up and investigate that which the town board so very much wants to approve.
