Three people were arrested last night as part of an enforcement action by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s DWI Task Force in Riverhead Town.
Members of the Riverhead Police Department, New York State Police, Southold Police Department and the Shelter Island Police Department conducted increased enforcement throughout the Town of Riverhead, where several checkpoints had been established throughout the evening.

Kenneth B. Rivero Jr., 57, of Riverhead was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana.
