Suffolk County Police last night arrested a man for drag racing in West Babylon.
First Precinct Crime Section officers responded to multiple calls of vehicles and motorcycles drag racing in West Babylon, at approximately 10 p.m. Officers observed several vehicles shutting down a section of roadway to traffic on Edison Avenue at Dale Street, allowing a motorcyclist to drag race and do burnouts in the roadway.
After observing the unlawful stunt behavior, officers took the motorcycle operator into custody without incident.
Antonino Mangogna, 30, was charged with Unlawful Stunt Behavior, Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance, and several vehicle and traffic law violations. The motorcycle was impounded.
Mangogna was issued a desk appearance ticket and is scheduled to appear at First District Court in Central Islip on a later date.
A criminal charge is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
