Amagansett

Police were called to Main Street near Indian Wells Tavern early Saturday morning to deal with a fight. No arrests were made, and all details of the incident were redacted on the police report.

East Hampton Village

A resident of one of the cottages at Bayberry Close off of Main Beach called police early on the morning of Feb. 23 to report his power was out and he didn’t have any heat. An officer visited the 88-year-old man, whose name was not released, gave him the number for PSEG, and suggested that if power were not restored he should stay elsewhere.

An aluminum cattle gate on an over-three-acre estate on Georgica Road was damaged by a vehicle some time between the evening of Feb. 20 and the morning of Feb 23. Police said there was construction at the site, which has a circa 1800 farmhouse.

A Lee Avenue woman called police late on Feb. 23, reporting that her carbon monoxide alarm was going off. Fire and Police Department personnel checked, but found no sign of the lethal gas. Police noted that a date on the alarm showed it to have expired and advised her to buy a new one the next morning.

A Tag Team estate sale sign advertising a sale on Lee Avenue was posted on public property, near the World War II tank outside the Highway Diner and Bar, on Friday, police said. The sign was removed and impounded.

Police were called to the vicinity of the Nature Trail on David’s Lane where an injured goose was in the road. “Said animal appeared to be disoriented and starved due to the winter conditions,” the officer wrote. He contacted Wildlife Rescue in Hampton Bays, which could not immediately respond, but he was able to coax the bird off the road into the tree line.

Sag Harbor

What sounded like road rage was reported to police last week. Chetram Somai told police he was driving a white Mercedes Benz van south on Main Street, headed toward the Otter Pond area when a silver Audi passed him illegally, cut him off, then drove slowly in front of him. At that point, Mr. Somai said, the driver of the Audi began videotaping the Mercedes. Mr. Somai pulled into a gas station and phoned police, saying he wanted the incident documented.

Police were called to the Municipal Building on Saturday evening. A Sag Harbor youth was skateboarding on the ramp in front of the building in a “reckless manner,” police said, doing jumps and leaps, losing the board, and frightening pedestrians. Police confiscated the board and issued the youth a warning.

Springs

Police were called to settle a dispute between a former couple last Thursday. Josephine Barrera of Manor Lane North told police that Mario Betancur was sending her unwanted text messages regarding a printer she had at her residence. She said she did not want to press charges, but wanted the text messages to stop. Police contacted Mr. Betancur, who agreed to have no more contact with her.
