Dan's Papers - February 15, 2008 -

Here is a pretty good example of what not to do when you are about to get arrested. A man in East Hampton was charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest after he was pulled over and charged with a DWI. When the man was being arrested, he became upset and started to smack the hood of the police car and became loud. He also took off on foot after the arresting officer called for backup. Shortly after he was apprehended - expect to see this on the next episode of COPS.

All was quiet on Shelter Island last week. There wasn't a single police report that came through the wire.

An injured seal washed ashore onto the beach in East Hampton. The Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation was called in, but when they responded, the seal had moved on. He is now swimming happily in the waters around Georgica Beach.

Two twenty-year olds were arrested in Southampton for possession of marijuana after they were spotted leaving a known drug location in the area. Police arrested the stoners who are most likely going to plead half-baked.

A police sting that led to the arrest of several bouncers and security guards at a Hampton Bays nightclub took place last week. Officers sent an underage girl with a fake ID into the nightclub and when she got through, arrests were made. One of the bouncers, who has been doing security work for close to a decade, was pretty bummed out about the sting because he wasn't the one who had checked the ID.

A woman in Sag Harbor got into an argument with her roommate who attempted to throw Nair on her hair. Thankfully she missed and there was no need for police to contact the hair club for men.

In Bridgehampton somebody stole a flat screen television, two cable boxes, a king-sized mattress, a twin mattress and a sofa. Police are on the hunt for one very strong criminal with a very large truck.

In Westhampton a report came in that several hundred dollars worth of vitamins were stolen from a home while it was unoccupied. No leads have been found, but the victim is now finally agreeing to eat his vegetables.
