An accident in Springs on the evening of Aug. 31 was one of two recent incidents on local roads that resulted in injuries.

Driving in the center turning lane, avoiding a deer and striking a guardrail, failing to maintain a lane, and a traffic accident led to driving while intoxicated charges for four people recently.

East Hampton Marine Patrol has received multiple reports of illegal shellfish poaching from concerned citizens since late August, following a front-page article in this newspaper highlighting the growing problem in local waters. Several reports could not be confirmed, but a number of others did make the police log, and were recorded as violations.
