Amagansett

An “older gentleman” was at the bar of Rosie’s with a younger woman who “did not appear to be his daughter,” another patron of the restaurant reported on Friday night, and he was “concerned about her well-being.” An officer spoke to the security guard at the door, who stated that the gentleman and the young woman come in often and that she was, in fact, his daughter. The officer then spoke to the man, who confirmed the guard’s statement.

 

East Hampton

At around 4 a.m. on Sept. 29,  a caller told town police that a man on a bike appeared to be rummaging through a Pantigo Road mailbox with a flashlight. An officer searched the area and found a 28-year-old man down the street who fit the caller’s description, but after interviewing him determined that he had not been the man observed. Village police were notified of the report to conduct a search within their jurisdiction.

Another caller also reported a suspicious man “possibly going through mailboxes” on Hog Creek Lane last Thursday evening, but a search of the area did not locate anyone matching the caller’s description.

 

Montauk

Police responded to the Wave Inn early Sunday morning after receiving a complaint about a dispute, and found a young woman who stated she’d been locked out of the room she was sharing with her mother. She had left the room at some point that night, she said, possibly to go to 7-Eleven, but did not have the code to get back in, and her mother did not respond to her repeated knocking. The mother told police she’d fallen asleep and hadn’t heard it. Both confirmed there had been no verbal or physical altercation, and agreed to avoid disturbing other hotel guests for the rest of the night.

 

Sag Harbor

A “possibly intoxicated, possibly homeless” longhaired man, wearing a hat, shorts, and a T-shirt, was outside the laundromat with a case of beer, a caller told police on the morning of Sept. 30. An officer found a man there who “partially matched the description,” and who stated that he’d lost his backpack the day before and was on his way to the police station to see if anyone had turned it in. Yes, said the officer, a backpack matching his description had indeed been turned in. Its owner then retrieved it from the station without incident.

A patron of K Pasa was refusing to leave the restaurant, the manager told police just before noon the next day, explaining that he’d asked him to leave because he had used “offensive language” toward staff and created a disturbance during a previous visit. The manager then called back to say the patron had left, but had called the restaurant to say he intended to contact its owner about his treatment. The officer obtained the patron’s number from the call, and rang back to advise him not to return to the restaurant, and the man replied that he would not.

An “upset” man wearing a black hat and jacket was “stomping” about outside Provisions Market, a caller reported that afternoon. Police found the man in question, who stated that there was “no issue” and asked why the officer wanted to speak with him. After the officer explained the nature of the complaint the man stated that he no longer wanted to talk to him and walked away.

A car had been parked on Concord Street for over a month and seemed to be abandoned, a caller reported Sunday around midnight. Police determined that the car was registered in Ontario, and contacted the listed owner, who called back later that day to explain that the car was not abandoned and that he was making plans to have it moved to Canada.

Emergency Dispatch Cost Analysis Debated

With two months to go until the East Hampton Town Police Department takes over the lion’s share of emergency dispatching responsibilities from East Hampton Village, questions linger about the cost of the transition and how the town department will handle the new workload.

A dog had been barking on and off in a fenced-in backyard for four days, a Springs-Fireplace Road neighbor reported on the night of Oct.15, adding that the house appeared to be empty and abandoned. Police went to the property and found a large black-and-white husky, “whimpering and shivering.”
