Police Blotter
Montauk Parade
The heavy police presence at the St. Patty's Day parade in Montauk kept the shennanigans at an all time low. While there were some reports of rowdiness and a mooning, the efforts of Village and Town police kept things in order for the family parade.

Not Such A Good Idea
A man who was pulled over for a general traffic violation in East Hampton began to shout obscenities at the officer. The officer found the man to be in possession of drugs and arrested him. He was charged for being that moron who thought everything would be OK after cursing out a cop.

Fell Asleep

Smack in the Face

Slow Truck Driver
On Friday a man driving an 18-wheeler was backing up traffic on Route 27 because he was driving only 35 mph in a 55 mph zone. A police officer was driving two cars behind the truck, but did not pull the man over for driving too slow. Witnesses reported more than 60 cars driving bumper-to-bumper along Montauk Highway between Amagansett and Montauk. The incident was reported through several telephone complaints.

No More Calls
A woman in Southampton reported to police that a man was repeatedly calling her cell phone and making old fashioned prank calls such as the "is your refrigerator running," or the "milk salesman" prank. Police and this writer are still not sure what the milk salesman prank call is all about.

Yes, Yes Bub
A group of teenagers were caught drinking beer and having a large pit fire at the bay in East Hampton. Police broke up the get together, confiscated the beer and wrote a few summonses. The teens then roared off in large pick-up trucks. There is no report on how these kids can afford to pay for the gas in those things.
