Punched With His Bare Fists

Thu, 05/23/2019 - 07:23



A Springs man who was standing in the middle of the Main Street-Jermain Avenue intersection in Sag Harbor Monday night, punching the hoods of cars stopped at the traffic light there with his bare fists, faces two felony charges of criminal mischief.

Sag Harbor Village police said Adam P. Kopoulos, 24, who was reportedly intoxicated, caused thousands of dollars’ worth of damage. It took both police officers on duty that evening to subdue him after a caller told a dispatcher what was happening.

Two cars suffered the most damage, a 2009 Nissan Sentra and a BMW. According to the report, Mr. Kopoulos took multiple swings at both vehicles, inflicting numerous dents. Each car had damage estimated at over $1,500.

Justice Andrea Schiavoni set bail the next morning in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court at $1,000, which was posted.
