Not Such a Great Getaway

A man in East Hampton reported to police that his all terrain vehicle (ATV), valued at around $2,000, was nearly stolen. The man explained that somebody took the vehicle from where it was and attempted to start it, but wasn't having any luck, so he dragged the ATV back to its original location and went on his way.

Fell Off a Bus

A young teenager fell out the window of a bus traveling in Montauk. The bus was a luxury bus, and the young teenager and a group of friends were on the bus, allegedly drinking and underage. The boy fell out of the bus and was sent to the hospital via helicopter. How exactly somebody can fall out of the window a bus is under investigation, but one thing is for sure, there are a lot of people who are going to get in a lot of trouble.

Madoff

Bernie Madoff, right now, at this very moment, is rotting away in a prison cell. Isn't that just so great? He may figure out some way to get out through some legal bologna, but isn't great?

Arm Twist

A man in East Hampton was arrested by police for physical harassment after he was found to be twisting the arm of his victim, who pressed charges. In other news, a man from Wainscott was arrested after he gave what was described as a "purple nurple," which is where the chest area of a victim is twisted.

$900 Wallet Stolen

A woman in Wainscott reported to police that her wallet containing $1,000 in cash had been stolen. The wallet itself, a Goyard, is worth $900. Police are investigating the incident.

Bridgehampton

Three Bridgehampton young men were arrested for breaking into a residence around midnight and assaulting a male who lives there. All three were arrested after another resident called police.

Moving Cigarettes

A man from Hampton Bays who is a former NYPD officer was charged with illegally selling cigarettes across states and cheating on $600,000 of sales tax. He is pleading not guilty.

Not So Safe

A man in Southampton was seen by residents doing back flips off the top of cars. When one resident asked him to stop because it was dangerous, the man gave him the finger. The resident threatened to call police, and the flipping man who flipped the bird took off. No injuries, reports or arrests were made
