David Israel Romero Leon, 31, of East Hampton was charged on Aug. 12 with criminal trespassing and contempt of court. East Hampton Town police said he had disobeyed a court order to stay away from his ex-girlfriend, 2-year-old son, and 10-year-old child, who live on Kings Court near Springs-Fireplace Road, entering an attached garage there, and "communicating" with the woman. Mr. Leon appeared before Justice Steven Tekulsky last Thursday morning.

There have been eight noise complaints in Sag Harbor since July 18, and when on Saturday an officer heard loud music while standing in the street, Andrew Connor, 26, of Miami was arrested.

In East Hampton Village, police arrested Jonathan Velasquez of Centereach, 25, last Thursday night, after clocking his BMW on Main Street at 56 miles per hour in a 30-m.p.h. zone.

Town police stopped a 2005 Ford driven by Julio Perez-Sinchi of Shirley, 35, on Three Mile Harbor Road, East Hampton, on Friday morning, and eventually charged the driver for the same offense. His court date is Aug. 26.
