A woman who racked up 53 parking tickets in the Village of East Hampton, mostly between May and August of 2017, totaling $9,170, had her day in court on Jan. 29.

Police were called to Riverhead Building Supply on Railroad Avenue Friday afternoon to check on a possible counterfeit $100 bill. It turned out to be a false alarm because the firm’s “detector pen was low on ink, making the bill appear counterfeit.”

There was only one arrest in East Hampton this past week on drunken driving charges; it came after a one-vehicle accident around midnight Monday.

Police visited a garage sale on Lumber Lane Saturday, after noticing a sign illegally posted at the intersection of Gingerbread and Race Lanes. The man running the sale had obtained a permit for it from the village, as required, but was unaware that signs advertising such sales cannot be posted on public property in the village.
