A 2 a.m. altercation at the Stephen Talkhouse that began between two women and spread to others sent police there on May 31. A Springs woman, Ashleigh Sachony-Rodman, was hit on the head by another woman, who was said by police to be drunk, and who then pulled her off her chair. Two groups of antagonists formed before the bar’s security team stepped in and told the groups to leave, via separate doors. Ms. Sachony-Rodman told police she did not want to press charges.

A Huntting Lane resident came into police headquarters last Thursday to report the disappearance of her cellphone the day before. The woman, whose name was redacted from the report in keeping with village police practice, said she had left her iPhone 6 on a bench in the women’s locker room at the RECenter the day before. When she realized her error she called the Y, but was told the phone, valued at $300, had not been turned in.

A 60-year-old Wainscott man called police to the Main Street entrance of the Reutershan parking lot at 3 a.m. on Friday. The responding officer reported nothing wrong, and that the man just wanted to “talk about his life adventures.”

An officer intervened early on the morning of May 31 in an altercation in front of the Shagwong Tavern. As the officer approached, a man took off running down Main Street. Shagwong’s manager told the officer the man had thrown a chair at the bar, smashing three bottles of liquor, valued at $100. The manager said he would not press charges provided the establishment was reimbursed. A friend of the man who fled stepped forward and agreed to pay for the damages.

Police issued a warning Saturday night to a man who had been harassing a Gates Avenue woman. Camille Williams told police she would not press charges as long as the unidentified man would stop calling her and coming around her house. An officer spoke with the man, and he agreed to mend his ways.

He told police he did not see their faces well enough to be able to identify them. The bike had a basket and a cup-holder attached, and was valued at $200.
