Police Blotter
Party At The Store!
A former employee of an East Hampton retailer was arrested after he was involved in throwing large, secret parties at the store where he used to work. The parties were held without the knowledge of the owner. The owner decided to press charges against the former employee. Luckily for the storeowner, selling wine and alcohol is not his business.

Doggy Trouble
An alarm went off at a home on the North Fork causing a security firm to investigate the scene. When they arrived, it was determined that the neighbors dog walked up the driveway of the home and nudged the door open. Police did not arrest the dog, who was quoted saying, "Bark! Ruff, ruff! RUFF! Bow wow!"

Fight In Montauk
A local guy was punched in the head in Montauk at a fisherman's bar late at night. Police were called and the man was bleeding but refused medical attention. He also did not want to press charges against his assailant. It's just how things are handled between locals in Montauk.

More Doggy Trouble
In Hampton Bays an alert was made to a local neighborhood that a dog was lost. After an extensive search involving endless door knocking and yelling, the dog finally turned up. He was nestled in with his new Valentine, of course, at a house down the street. Love makes you do strange things, even when you're a dog.

Idiot
A man called police to report that his SUV was stuck on the beach in East Hampton. Police arrived quickly and found the man to be waiting in his car for them. When they approached him, they smelled alcohol and it was obvious that he was drunk. Police arrested the man for DWI and then towed his SUV off the beach. This is a good example of how drinking can make you extra dumb.

Tough In Southampton
In Southampton a woman was arrested after she failed to appear in court for multiple traffic violations. Apparently the woman felt that going to court was something she could just not do if she felt like it.

Rough Bar Brawl
In Sag Harbor, reports ran through the wire of a bar fight that took place between a group of young men at nearly four in the morning. When police arrived, the fighters made a run for it. One of the fighters was tracked down but did not want to name any of the other suspects in the incident. He also denied that any of the other fighters were really big fans of the musical West Side Story.
