Friday, Jan. 11

At 6:33 p.m., Anita O’Daly, 75, of Northport, was arrested on charges of DWI and leaving the scene of an incident. Authorities say she was exiting a parking lot in a white Subaru when she struck a 2005 Chrysler traveling southbound on Bluff Point Road at 5:53 p.m. The driver of the Chrysler told police the Subaru driver, later identified as O’Daly, initially stopped but then left the scene without exchanging any information. A passing motorist then notified police he was following a white Subaru that was driving “all over the road,” police say. Authorities initiated a traffic stop on Mariners Lane. O’Daly was placed under arrest after police say she performed poorly on several field sobriety tests. She was arraigned in Northport Village Justice Court.

At 10:42 p.m., police received a report of a domestic incident in which a man returned home on Bayview Avenue and could not fall asleep because his wife would not leave him alone. He said she then became agitated when he tried to sleep on the couch. He went to report this verbal domestic incident and told police he will be staying in a hotel for the night. The wife did not wish to pursue this incident further.
