The full extent of what happened in Sag Harbor Cove on July 26, a sunny Sunday when a Brooklyn family went fishing by the North Haven bridge and almost lost their lives in a fast-moving current, was not known until this week. It is now clear that as many as half a dozen people had come close to drowning.
A driver swerved across the road to avoid a collision, but ran into a dirt embankment and railroad ties.
East Hampton Town police allegedly spotted marijuana in the ashtray of a Honda parked outside the 7-Eleven in Montauk. Upon searching the car, they also reported finding hallucinogenic mushooms and a tab of Ecstasy.
Last Thursday afternoon, a woman returned to her parked car in the lot behind 87 Newtown Lane to find a golf ball had struck the windshield, leaving numerous large circular cracks. The ball was found in the parking lot.
