Sag Harbor Village police had a busy weekend. On Saturday night, what began when Kyle Sweatt of Mastic Beach ran a stop sign at the Eastville Avenue-Hempstead Street intersection got more complicated when police discovered that his license had been suspended 20 times, mainly for ignoring court dates. The 22-year-old, who was in his red 2008 Mercury Mountaineer when he was arrested outside 119 Bay Street, was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation. He is to appear in Sag Harbor court tomorrow, Justice Rana presiding.
Also on Saturday night in Sag Harbor, village police said Forrest Peralta, 29, of West Weehawken, N.J., grabbed a cellphone belonging to Guiyang Xiong, with whom he had a previous relationship, and stepped on it, cracking the screen, threw it into nearby shrubbery, and then threw Mr. Xiong to the ground, "hitting him with a closed fist," according to the report.
Sag Harbor Village E.M.T.s examined bruises on Mr. Xiong’s face, arms, and legs before taking him by ambulance to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, where he signed a criminal complaint. Mr. Peralta spent the rest of the night in jail and appeared before Justice Rana Sunday morning on charges of criminal mischief, assault, and harassment.
John Tracy of East Hampton was cited on Sunday evening with littering in public, but it involved more than candy wrappers. A man whom police did not identify told them that Mr. Tracy, with a woman, had walked up to him and his friends and shouted at them before throwing a glass bottle onto the sidewalk, where it broke. He also reportedly tossed a cellphone charger at the front window of Long Wharf Wines & Spirits; it hit the window but did not break it. Someone inside the store made the call to police, saying she was scared and did not know what was happening. Mr. Tracy left the scene, but police caught up with him heading toward Main Street. He was given a summons for violating village code.
