A 50-year-old Sag Harbor woman was arrested and charged with drunken driving after being stopped by police as she attempted to drive out of a hospital parking lot Sunday evening in Greenport, Southold Town police said.
Police said Kristen Quadland was arrested at 7 p.m. after being alerted to the situation by staff at Eastern Long Island Hospital.
Police said the responding officer found Quadland “stopped in the parking lot of the hospital, in the driver’s seat with the vehicle running” and said she was arrested after it was determined she was intoxicated. Quadland also was found to be in possession of marijuana, police said. She was held for arraignment.
