Angrily Quit, Allegedly Stole

Thu, 03/10/2022 - 10:29

A disgruntled employee who had just quit his job at Schiavoni’s on Main Street in Sag Harbor was charged with petty larceny on March 2 after he allegedly stole from the store.

Jordan Wethy, 32, was reported to be acting angry and behaving strangely just after he quit. The manager remembered that the day before, Mr. Wethy had gone out the back door with a full bag of groceries. The manager decided to check the video surveillance cameras, and observed Mr. Wethy putting candy, popcorn, crackers, bread, cheese, butter, and bakery items, together valued at about $90, into a bag before leaving without paying.

Mr. Wethy turned himself in to the Sag Harbor police and was released on an appearance ticket after processing. He is due back in Sag Village Court on Friday, March 18.

Elvis Rojas, a 23-year-old from Hampton Bays, was pulled over last week after an officer clocked him at 51 miles per hour in a 20 m.p.h. school zone. The officer caught up with his 2000 Acura and found that the man’s driving privileges had been suspended in New York State last November for failure to answer a summons and pay a ticket. Mr. Rojas is to be back in Sag Harbor Court on April 1.
