Here's a bit of advice: Don't attack a police officer. We only say this because apparently a 49-year-old woman in East Quogue never received this advice. The woman was arrested after her landlord called police because she was behaving erratically in the house, and when police arrived, she assaulted a 21-year veteran of the force. She was sent to a psychiatric hospital for a mental health evaluation.

His brother sustained a fractured arm and charges have been filed.

A man in East Hampton was pulled over by police officers, who noticed that he immediately was reaching for Visine eye drops and putting them in his eyes when they approached the vehicle. The man was then seen spitting out mouthwash and also spraying his car with aerosol deodorant. Police were not fooled, and could smell the combination of minty fresh Scope, Mountain Springs Right Guard and grade A, illegal marijuana. The young man was arrested and was given a bail set at $300 for the incident. His personal items, including the Visine, were returned to him.

A nightclub owner called police in Hampton Bays to report that two cases of beer had been stolen. Police are investigating the incident. They at first tried to look around the club to see if anybody was acting intoxicated, but that didn't work out to be a very good strategy.
