Southampton Town police arrested a 42-year-old Sayville man on drug charges following a crash along County Route 94 and Center Drive in Riverhead Friday.
According to police, Twan Russell fled the scene of the crash and was located nearby at Riverside Taxi.
Mr. Russell reportedly told police that he did not stop and wait for police to arrive because he was nervous and had never been in an accident before, officials said.
Further investigation revealed Mr. Russell had been driving with a suspended license and was in possession of a pink heart-shaped pill he told police was ecstasy, police said.
Stabbed Suffolk officer no longer in critical condition, officials say
