Police responded to a drunken brawl on Rolling Woods Court in Wainscott late last Thursday night. A fight between two men had spilled over into a driveway. One of the two, bleeding from a punch in the face, pushed the other to the ground, "scratching his rib cage," according to the report.
As many as 40 burglar alarms were triggered across both residential and commercial properties in East Hampton Town last week, in some places more than once in 24 hours.
A driver claimed that icy roads led to a crash, but police said he had failed a roadside sobriety test. He sustained a head injury with minor bleeding, they said, while his passenger was found to be semiconscious.
