Road Arrest

East Hampton Village police stopped a Greenport woman who was driving without headlights Sunday evening and wound up charging her with felony possession of cocaine.

Woods Lane was the scene of the traffic stop. Police said the driver, Lynelle Christine Ross, 48, could not produce proof of insurance for her 2006 Mazda, which was found to have a suspended registration, a misdemeanor. She was asked to step outside the car, at which point the officer “smelled a strong odor of marijuana, and observed two glass pipes in the driver’s door,” according to his report.

Ms. Ross allegedly said she had marijuana in her handbag, and pulled it out to show him. Police then searched the car. Concealed under the driver’s seat, with the floor mat on top of it, was a black bag, police said, with a small plastic bag inside. The total amount of white powder in the bag, when weighed at Cedar Street headquarters, was over 500 milligrams, raising the possession charge against the woman to the felony level.

She was held overnight. At her arraignment the next morning, East Hampton Town Justice Lisa R. Rana set bail at $5,000, which was posted.

Sag Harbor Village police arrested two teenagers, both Sag Harbor residents, on criminal charges this past week.

A 16-year-old was charged on Sunday in connection with a burglary that took place in the village in September, when $135 in cash was stolen from a Division Street house. Police said the boy, whose name was not released because of his age, did not act alone, and that they had arrested a female juvenile in connection with the same crime on Oct. 3.

A charge of second-degree burglary, a felony, is pending against the boy. He was released on an appearance ticket with a future date in court.

The other youth, Max O. Micallef, 17, was arrested Friday evening after he allegedly threw eggs at a house on Bay Street and smeared feces on the front door and inside the mailbox. A second-floor window screen was damaged in the incident. The young man was charged with criminal mischief in the fourth degree, a misdemeanor, and released with an appearance ticket returnable on Dec. 9.
