There was an altercation on Saturday evening near Sausages Pizza on Main Street. Police arrived in response to a 911 call to find Robert Pollina of Setauket holding a man down on the ground. Both men had minor scrapes, which witnesses said probably happened when they fell down. Mr. Pollina said he had been waiting in line at the pizza shop with his son when a man approached, "very drunk," and began "aggressively threatening them," according to the report, berating Mr. Pollina for not wearing a face mask. Witnesses all reported that the man, who was not identified, was clearly drunk. He was taken to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital for evaluation. Mr. Pollina refused medical attention.

Jonathan Davis, who is involved in an ongoing dispute regarding his continued occupancy of 203 Jermain Avenue, reported that while trying to load his car on the afternoon of June 8, "a paparazzi" was taking photos of him from across the street. Mr. Davis rented the house some time ago, but his lease has expired and he has been refusing to leave, citing the governor's suspension of evictions. Because the photographer was on public property, he was not cited.

Nearby at 28 Roxbury Lane, security footage from the night before captured someone in the driveway trying to steal yet another Land Rover.

He did steal what he probably thought was a purse, but which in fact contained gloves, masks, and hand sanitizer.
