Sean Ludwick Case Adjourned After Last Court Appearance

The case against Sean Ludwick, a New York City real estate developer who was arrested on a DWI charge after a crash in Sag Harbor which killed his passenger this past summer, has been adjourned, according to a report in Sag Harbor Online.

On August 30, Ludwick, 42, was driving on Rolling Hill Court East at about 2 a.m. when he lost control of the car and struck the pole, killing the sole passenger in the car, 53-year-old Douglas Elliman real estate agent Paul Hansen, of Sag Harbor, who was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

He was arraigned in Southampton Town Justice Court on August 31 and was released after paying the $1 million bond.

He appeared in court last Tuesday, Nov. 24 before Justice Deborah Kooperstein, who adjourned the case until February 10, according to the report.

Hansen’s family, including his wife, Catherine, his sisters Susan Morrissey and Kathy Ruotolo, his brother, Bob Hansen, and his brother-in-law Tom Morrissey all appeared in court, Sag Harbor Online reports.

“This time of year is really tough on our family with Thanksgiving coming up and the holidays,” Hansen told Sag Harbor Online. “Cathy and the boys are missing him tremendously. We are all going to miss him tremendously. It’s going to be a tough season for us.”
