Police Blotter

David Lion Rattiner

Wild Man

A man in East Hampton was caught driving his car all over the place on the side of the road. When police went to go confront the man, he had loud music playing, which is believed to have been the soundtrack to The Lone Ranger. Apparently the man was just having one Wild West time with his car on the side of the road. He was not drinking, but did receive a ticket.

Shot

No not with a bullet, with a camera. A man in Hampton Bays who is not a celebrity became infuriated at a person in the street after his picture was taken. A shouting match took place and the man attempted to take the camera and smash it on the ground, which he tried unsuccessfully. No charges were filed, and nobody in general cares about the man's photograph.

No Sticker

A dog in East Hampton, lacking the proper beach sticker identification, thought about taking a walk on the beach, but decided it was too risky.

Broke In, Fell Asleep

Talk about strange. A man in Southampton was reportedly caught breaking into a house in Southampton for a good night's rest. The owners of the house suspect that the young man was a little intoxicated and didn't realize he was falling asleep in a home that wasn't his. Needless to say, they weren't too happy about the incident and are not letting it go with a warning.

Clocks, The Scientist

A scientist in Sag Harbor thought that one of his very expensive clocks had been stolen out of his home. He called police, but later called them off after he figured out that his girlfriend thought the clock was ugly and placed it in the garage. The scientist was not too happy.

Frustrated and Intoxicated

A man in Montauk was pulled over and charged for driving while intoxicated. The man was unable to present nearly anything because he was so out of control. He later told police that he was very frustrated about his entire situation.

Laying Low

A man was caught in East Hampton stuffing his pants with meat from a grocery store. He was caught red-handed by the store manager after a steak fell out of the bottom of his pants. The store threw the meat out after the incident.

Television

A fistfight broke out in Southampton between a Red Sox fan and Yankees fan over an umpire's call of a tag out at second base during a weekend game. There were a few injuries in the tussle, but no weapons became involved other than fists. It turned out that the Red Sox fan was wrong.

Shelter Island

A deer illegally crossed the street in an area that did not have a crosswalk sign on Shelter Island last week. A raccoon was also shot and killed.
