Amagansett

Police were called to the Hermitage on Napeague at 4 a.m. on May 28, where they found an inebriated woman banging on a neighbor’s door. They were able to show her to the correct room and left her in the care of friends.

Derek Miller of the Parks Department reported the sink in the women’s bathroom at Albert’s Landing destroyed on Sunday. Someone had ripped it off the wall; he found it on the floor in pieces.

On Memorial Day, late in the afternoon, a team of five “pool jumpers” hit a Southview property. A woman was returning home after a day at the beach when she saw three men and two women, described as in their 20s, leaving her backyard, dripping wet. Her husband approached them, and one of the men told him he had “always admired” their house before they all walked off.

A man “around 50 years old” entered Astro’s Pizza after 10 p.m. on Saturday and began causing a disturbance, bothering diners. Paul Calapa, the new owner, took the man outside, and he left before police arrived.

An employee at Le Caprice, Bibi Avraham, was issued a summons on Friday afternoon for peddling on a public sidewalk, a violation of village code. Le Caprice, a cosmetics retailer, has run into trouble for aggressive sales tactics before.

At sunrise on Sunday, police were called to a Pleasant Lane residence, where an apparently drunken man was trying to gain entry. They found a young man asleep in the grass out front, determined that he lived a few doors down, and escorted him home.

Montauk

After a night on the town, Filip Fiebig and his friends were dropped off by a taxi on Edgemere Street in the early hours of May 28. As they were waiting to cross the road, a Jeep pulled over and a man jumped out, punched Mr. Fiebig in the face twice, and ran back to the Jeep, which drove off. The victim and his friends all insisted that they had had had no altercations that night. Mr. Fiebig was taken to the hospital and treated for facial lacerations and broken teeth.

Joseph Graham called police early on May 29, claiming to have been assaulted by a bouncer at the Memory Motel.

Kenny asked that Mr. Graham “be trespassed” from the Memory, and he agreed, after the officers spoke with him, not to return.

Carolina Brito, who works at Montauk Blue Hotel, called police after having problems with a hotel guest, Elena Zakharova, who complained to the officers that her room was not up to standards and that the hotel staff was harassing her. They stood by as Ms. Brito told the woman she was no longer a guest in the hotel and would be issued a full refund. Ms. Zakharova left soon after.

Sag Harbor

Patrick Paul and Christopher Coffee were highly intoxicated on the night of May 28 and may not have realized they were urinating on the front door of village police headquarters — or perhaps they did. In any event, a cop was nearby, and the men were charged with disorderly conduct and public intoxication, both violations.

A 30-year-old woman staying at Baron’s Cove was taken to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital on May 30. She was short of breath with “possible Covid symptoms,” police reported, and was given oxygen before departing in an ambulance.

Karen Comerford, who works at the store Sunny, called police on May 31 to say that birds were trying to fly into the store. An officer arrived to find a fledgling under a parked car, trying but failing to fly, with its concerned parents nearby. The officer moved the bird to a safer spot.

Police were called to the intersection of Rector and Dering Streets early last Thursday morning after a woman was reported screaming there. She seemed disoriented, they reported, yelling that she was running away from Donald Trump. She was so scared of him, she managed to tell them, that while running she had fallen and severely injured her ankle. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital.

The captain of a South Ferry trip called Harbormaster Robert Bori on Friday to report a suspicious vessel tied up to marking buoy 15 in the ferry channel. The men aboard told Marine Patrol they were doing work for the Coast Guard.

Wainscott

Aylya Dannemann went out for a swim at the end of Town Line Road Saturday afternoon and got caught in a rip current. She called out for help, and Emma Allen heard her and called police.
