Kalish was driving a 2011 Mitsubishi north on Bayville Road in Lattingtown at about 9:30 p.m.
Officers conducting a vehicle and traffic stop at Ryefield Road observed that “Kalish was intoxicated and attempted to place him under arrest,” according to a news release.
Kalish began to resist, physically fighting with the officers, the release said. He also tried to remove a service weapon from one officer’s holster.
The officers were able to subdue Kalish, and he was taken to a nearby hospital for medical evaluation. He was released a short time later, police said.
Kalish is scheduled to be arraigned Friday at First District Court in Hempstead.
