At Montauk's Shagwong Tavern on Saturday night, a sweatshirt hanging in front of a sign pertaining to the alcohol beverage control law led to the arrest of Richard Cintron, the manager, for failing to place the sign in "conspicuous view." East Hampton Town police also said the sign in question "was not the one received from the [State Liquor] authority and does not meet the required specifications." Mr. Cintron faces two misdemeanor charges, the second one saying the sign was not enclosed in a "suitable wood or metal frame having a clear glass space." Both charges were brought previously, in July 2019, by the same officer, Michael Gomez. Mr. Cintron will appear on Wednesday in East Hampton Town Justice Court.

Patricia Dominski, 55, of East Hampton was identified via video surveillance at the Romany Kramoris Gallery nearby and arrested in front of 48 Main Street that afternoon.

An employee at the Montauk 7-Eleven called police around midnight last Thursday, to say that a man had been in the store for the last two days without wearing a mask.

Mr. Houston was processed, though police reported that he would not cooperate with arrest proceedings or give any information.
