Suffolk County Police arrested an East Northport woman on May 2 for allegedly driving while ability impaired by drugs and alcohol after she was driving the wrong way on Route 347 in Smithtown.
Highway Patrol Bureau Police Officer Eric Noens was off-duty in a marked police vehicle when he observed Marisa Soares driving westbound in the eastbound lanes of Route 347, near Mount Pleasant Road, on May 2 at approximately 7 p.m.
Officer Noens, who is part of the Selective Alcohol Fatality Enforcement (SAFE-T) Section, was traveling home from the Fourth Precinct after receiving a unit recognition award for impaired driving enforcement from Mothers Against Drunk Driving in Albany.
Soares, 66, was charged with alleged Driving While Ability Impaired by Drugs and Alcohol.
Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney announced on April 27 that Paul Ludeman, 56, of Holtsville, pleaded guilty to Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, Driving While Ability Impaired, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child, after he stole a vehicle while there was a 14-month-old sleeping baby inside.
“This defendant had absolutely no regard for the law or anyone, for that matter, when he stole a vehicle with a baby in the backseat while under the influence of alcohol,” said District Attorney Tierney. “This could have ended in a tragedy, but luckily the child’s grandmother and a Good Samaritan were able to get the child out of the vehicle before this defendant crashed into the guardrail. This blatant disregard for the public’s safety was thoughtless and now the defendant is going back to prison.”
According to the investigation and the defendant’s admissions during his plea allocution, on February 14 Ludeman stole a vehicle with an infant inside and drove away while his ability to drive was impaired by his consumption of alcohol. Despite Ludeman’s attempt to flee from the owner of the vehicle and the police, the infant’s grandmother, along with a good Samaritan, were able to follow Ludeman and get the 14-month-old child out of the vehicle without injury, before Ludeman continued to flee and eventually crash the vehicle into a guardrail in Greenport.
On April 25, Ludeman pleaded guilty before Acting County Court Judge, the Honorable James McDonaugh, to Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, a Class D felony, Endangering the Welfare of a Child, a Class A misdemeanor, and Driving While Ability Impaired, an Unclassified Misdemeanor. At the time of his plea, Judge McDonaugh set bail on Ludeman in the amount of $250,000 cash, $500,000 bond, or $1 million partially secured bond.
Ludeman is due back in court for sentencing on May 30, 2023, where he is expected to be ordered to serve two to four years in prison. He is being represented by the Legal Aid Society.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Tara O’Donnell of the Major Crime Bureau.
Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and Suffolk County Police Second Precinct Crime Section officers are seeking the public’s help to identify and locate the woman who allegedly stole merchandise from a Melville store in April.

Frank Sinatra once said, “I think my real ambition is to pass on to others what I know. It took me a long, long time to learn what I now know, and I don’t want that to die with me.”
Enter vocalist Pete Caldera to grab the “Sinatra baton” with his perfectly nuanced interpretations of Frank’s catalog. Caldera will head to The Jazz Loft, 275 Christian Ave., Stony Brook for three shows filled with Sinatra classics, called “Strictly Sinatra,” on May 4, 5 and 6, with all shows starting at 7 p.m. Caldera will be joined by the Jazz Loft’s 17-piece big band directed by Jazz Loft founder Tom Manuel.
“Sinatra was one of the most important entertainers of the 20th Century,” said Manuel. “Just as Frank never did anything in a small way, we will be devoting three nights to Ol’ Blue Eyes, with Pete Caldera.”
This is Caldera’s second year performing at The Jazz Loft’s tributes to Frank Sinatra. Away from performing, Caldera is a reporter for the Bergen Record and the USA Today network, covering the Yankees.

On May 1, Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) kicked off her annual countywide “A Park a Day in May” campaign designed to encourage Suffolk residents to visit, enjoy and help promote and protect Suffolk County’s hundreds of parks. This year, she invited her fellow legislators to participate by choosing a favorite park in each of their districts to highlight together.
In addition, in a separate but related initiative, Hahn is also partnering with the Association for Mental Health and Wellness (AMHW) to bring attention to May being Mental Health Awareness month and the tangible role parks can play in helping to minimize the impact of stress on our daily lives.
For several years, Hahn has highlighted a park a day each day for 31 days during May using social media to spread the word. She challenges county residents to visit each of the parks highlighted sometime during the spring or summer; take and post a “selfie” that identifies which park they are visiting, and include the hashtag #aparkaday with their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts. “We have a remarkable park system in Suffolk County and across Long Island that provides our residents with nearly limitless recreational opportunities to get out in nature at very little cost,” said Hahn. “Not only does the ‘A Park a Day in May’ Challenge give people a roadmap for exploring our majestic natural landscape, but it also gives them the opportunity to celebrate that journey of exploration with their family and friends.”
Each day in May, Hahn will highlight another park, more than half chosen by her fellow legislators. From Inlet Pond Park on the North Fork to Laurel Valley Park on the South Fork, Sagtikos Manor on the South Shore and West Hills on the North Shore, the legislators are joining with Hahn in highlighting favorite parks across the county. In 2016, Hahn began her challenge focusing on parks within District Five, the legislative district she serves. “Residents of my district really took up the challenge, and each year since we have expanded our reach and I am excited and hopeful that across Long Island, families are going to get into the spirit of the idea of ‘A Park a Day in May,’” said Hahn.
Through the “A Park a Day in May” campaign, Hahn has enlisted scores of Suffolk residents in raising awareness about Suffolk’s parks. “Whether along a waterfront or deep in a forest, our parks and beaches are the natural resources that define our quality of life and make Suffolk and all of Long Island unique, and we must do everything we can to keep them clean, safe and accessible to local residents,” said Hahn.
Hahn chaired Suffolk’s Parks & Recreation Committee for five years beginning in 2017 and has focused on protecting the County’s more than 50,000 acres of parkland from illegal dumping and misuse, while also finding innovative ways to increase public access and enjoyment of these parks. That year, Hahn led an effort to expose illegal dumping in some county parks and provide stiffer penalties for such abuse. Hahn has also created a volunteer Parks Stewardship program for County parks and has also created a fifth-district Parks Passport for kids and is working with the County Parks Department on a countywide version as well.
Legislator Hahn is accepting recommendations for parks to highlight during the 2023 “A Park a Day in May,” and is asking residents to take a photo of themselves in their favorite park and e-mail it to [email protected] along with the reason why that park is their favorite.
