Robert Futterman
Robert Futterman, founder, chairman and CEO of Robert K. Futterman & Associates, was charged with driving while intoxicated in Bridgehampton Saturday night, Newsday reported. The crime is classified as a felony under a law passed in New York State that imposes tougher sanctions on intoxicated drivers who have children in the car.
The police report had Futterman “failing to maintain his travel line” while driving southbound on Sag Harbor Turnpike at 10:27 p.m. Saturday, with four children in the vehicle under the age of 16. In April, Futterman told the The Real Deal that he had two children, ages 18 and 16. Futterman was also charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
It’s not the first time high-producing real estate agents have been arrested for DWI on the East End.
In 2009 Corcoran Group’s Gary DePersia was arrested and charged in Montauk for the crime and last year, his ex-wife, Charlotte DePersia, was charged with drunk driving.
