A 32-year-old Northwest Woods man was arrested last week on a felony charge of sexually abusing an East Hampton High School student under the age of 17.

The season started a week early on local roads, with a noticeable increase in the number of drunken-driving arrests.

A woman who returned last week to her Cutter Court house found that four driveway lights had been smashed, and a couple of dog walkers who forgot to clean up after their dogs were ticketed.

The cause of a fire at World Pie restaurant in Bridgehampton remained under investigation yesterday, four days after the blaze closed down the mainstay at the start of the busy Memorial Day weekend.
