Suffolk County Police today arrested a North Bellport man for Leandra’s Law for driving while intoxicated following a motor vehicle crash with his four-year-old daughter in the vehicle.

His child did not require medical attention and was released to a family member at the scene. Pedraza, 37, of Bellport was not injured.
The Honda was impounded.
