East Hampton Village

A Main Street resident called police on Feb. 10 when she saw a fawn in her backyard with what appeared to be a lame leg. When police arrived, the deer was gone. They gave the woman the phone number for the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons, in case the injured animal should return.

The driver of a Volkswagen called police to Lumber Lane last Thursday, complaining that a Village Highway Department snowplow was being driven too fast. The plow driver told police that he too wanted the incident documented.

A highly intoxicated man was found early Saturday morning lying next to a car parked outside a Three Mile Harbor Road nightclub. The car’s owner helped the man up and into the car, and drove him to the intersection of North Main Street and Collins Avenue, opposite East Hampton Village Police headquarters. There, an officer figured out the man’s address and put him in a taxi, which took him home.

A black leather Pierre Balmain jacket was reported stolen from Blue and Cream on The Circle Saturday.

Montauk

A woman who returned to her ground-floor apartment on South Elmwood Avenue Jan. 17 after a week away called police after finding the front door severely damaged. Police reported that Miranda Behrens’s apartment had not been entered, and that it appeared that her door, which faces a parking lot, had been struck by a car.

Northwest Woods

A Woodpink Drive homeowner became suspicious last Thursday when a stranger walked up to her and asked about the rental status of a neighboring house. The stranger showed Aubrey Baratta an advertisement for the house from the Bonac Rentals Facebook page, in which a woman in Tennessee claimed to be the owner. Knowing the owner to be a man she knew as Mitch, Ms. Baratta called police, who contacted Mitchell Levy, who came to the house. It appeared, from tracks in the snow, that several people had been walking through the backyard. Police are investigating.

Springs

Police were called to a Bryant Street house on Valentine’s Day. Douglas and Francis Pitches said they had brought in a cleaning company to clean the room of a man who lives with them, after he was hospitalized.

In that envelope were seven $100 bills belonging to the hospitalized man. Police are investigating.
