Suffolk County Police today arrested a Babylon man for boating while intoxicated after six people were injured in a boat crash in the Great South Bay early this morning.

Brian Swezey was operating a 1999 Polar 21-foot Center Console boat in the Great South Bay, off Captree Island in Islip, when his boat collided with a 1989 Steiger Craft, carrying six people, at approximately 3:20 a.m.

Mario Posillico, 49, the operator of the Steiger Craft, Georgine Posillico, 47, both of Saltaire, Fire Island, and their passengers, a 19-year-old female, a 15-year-old male and an 11-year-old male were transported to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip with non-life threatening injuries. Michelle Posillico, 19, of Saltaire, Fire Island, was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center for treatment of serious injuries. Swezey, 48, of 150 Araca Road , Babylon, and his passenger, were not injured in the crash.

Third Squad detectives charged Swezey with Boating While Intoxicated. He was also issued a summons for failure to submit a breath test. Swezey will be held overnight at the Third Precinct and he is scheduled for arraignment at First District Court in Central Islip on July 16.

A criminal charge is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

The internet loves a good underdog story, especially one where a lone creator battles Hollywood giants. Few tales have captivated online forums and social media quite like that of Sophia Stewart, the woman who famously sued the creators of The Matrix and The Terminator, claiming they stole her work, "The Third Eye."

Charlie Kirk Was Right, and Charlie Kirk Was Wrong: The Enduring Legacy of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
