A Connecticut man was arrested in East Hampton on a DWI charge on Sunday, Nov. 9, according to police.

While on routine patrol, an East Hampton Village police officer observed Giorgios Kovlakas, 24, driving on the shoulder and crossing over the solid double yellow line on Montauk Highway near Green Hollow Road.
