Woman Orders Egg Sandwich — At Jail's Security Booth

RIVERHEAD, NY — A woman ended up with a lot more than breakfast when she ordered an egg sandwich — at the county jail.

According to the Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr.'s office, a woman drove up to the security booth at the sheriff’s office correctional facility and administrative offices in Riverhead and attempted to order a breakfast sandwich.

Instead, she walked away in handcuffs, the sheriff's office said.

On Friday at 10:12 a.m., 44-year old Lizabeth Ildefonso from Jamesport, who was driving a 2007 Nissan, drove up to Deputy Sheriff Yvonne DeCaro at the security booth and attempted to place an order for a “bacon, egg and cheese," Toulon's office said.

She was told by DeCaro that she was at the Riverhead Correctional Facility and the driver insisted that she really wanted a sandwich, the sheriff's office said in a release.

During the interview, Decaro observed that Ildefonso's pupils were dilated, she had glassy eyes, and had a white powder residue in her left nostril, the sheriff's office said.

A license check also revealed she was operating the vehicle without a valid license, Toulon's office said.

Ildefonso was arrested after performing poorly on standardized field sobriety tests and charged with felony driving while ability impaired by drugs and driving without a license, Toulon's office said.

Ildefonso consented to a blood test, the results of which are pending, and an evaluation by a sheriff’s office drug recognition expert, Toulon's office said.

Ildefonso will be arraigned Saturday morning at Southampton Town Justice Court, authorities said.

Deputy Sheriff Decaro had only recently attended advanced roadside impaired driving enforcement, or ARIDE, training earlier in the week; the training teaches law enforcement officers to observe, identify and articulate the signs of impairment related to drugs, alcohol, or a combination of both, Toulon's office said.

"It apparently was put to good use today although the surrounding circumstances were a little unexpected," the release said.
