Hiding in The Kitchen

Thu, 05/23/2019 - 07:22



East Hampton Village police arrested a Newburgh, N.Y., man early Saturday morning after a cab driver complained that he had not paid the $60 fare agreed upon.

At about 2:20 a.m., Joshua George Colon, 32, hired a Roadrunner taxi, driven by James Geddis, to take him from the Shagwong restaurant on Main Street in Montauk to the Huntting Inn on Main Street in East Hampton, but balked at paying the fare when they arrived in East Hampton. He told Mr. Geddis he would need to get money from his room, but then never returned.

Police found Mr. Colon hiding in the kitchen at the inn. He was charged with theft of services, a misdemeanor, at about 4 a.m. He was released on $300 bail later that morning.

Thomas Considine, 23, of North Sea was arrested on Nov. 8 and charged with criminal mischief in the fourth degree, a misdemeanor, after allegedly damaging property in Fort Hill Cemetery, Montauk. East Hampton Town police said he had spun his tires on the grounds, causing small potholes and rubber streaks. He was released with an appearance ticket.
