Police Blotter

Just Walked Right In

A woman in Hampton Bays walked right into a home in the middle of the night and fell asleep on the owners' couch. The owner of the house awoke, concerned that he was being robbed, and came into the living room with a baseball bat. The woman tried to explain that she was there just to sleep. After a brief conversation, the owner of the house agreed to let the woman sleep on the couch. The next day, the woman took the residents of the house out to breakfast. Now there's a story.

One Way To Get The Boot

An employer in Sag Harbor got into an argument with an employee after she demanded that he pay her wages. The employer became angry and pushed over the employee's cart filled with work tools. He eventually agreed to pay the wages and also $100 in damages for the tools, and then fired the woman. He later went into the back room of his business and watched the movie The Godfather for the ten thousandth time.

Violent Behavior

Police arrested a man in East Hampton for violent behavior. While being arrested, the man began struggling, punching, kicking and yelling at the police officers. Apparently the man was hoping that the officers would notice that he was fighting to the bitter end to prove his point and that police would develop a respect for him, realizing he did not deserve to be arrested. The man's plan was completely unsuccessful and he was charged to the fullest extent of the law.
