Amagansett

On Pintail Lane, a man called police about two hunters with firearms near his property on Sunday morning. Police found the hunters, who did not have firearms, and they told police that they had arrived in the dark and did not see how close they were to the property line. Police let them go.

A woman arrived at Amagansett Equestrian around noon on Dec. 2 to check on her belongings, only to find them gone. In 2019, she’d left her horse and belongings under the care of the manager, who, five years later, no longer worked there. Her horse had also been leaving the property, she said. The resolution to her complaint was redacted by police.

Police filed a report of identity theft.

A Fernald Road woman reported two suspected scams on the afternoon of Dec. 19, according to police. First, an unknown person tried to withdraw a total of almost $1,300 from her bank account. Second, someone purporting to be from Medicaid called asking for personal information. Police asked her to contact them if it happens again.

Springs

An Eighth Street man reported an unwanted guest around midnight on Jan. 21. The man had been in a verbal altercation with the guest, who appeared to be intoxicated, because the guest would not leave. Police gave the intoxicated man a ride home.

On Springs-Fireplace Road, a man flagged down an officer around midnight two days later, as he had been receiving threatening messages on Snapchat. Police contacted the mother of the person sending the messages. Eventually, all parties agreed to stop communication.

After an incident in which a landlord reportedly punched and choked his tenant for a period of 10 minutes on Abraham’s Path on the night of Jan. 12, the tenant walked into the Pantigo Road police substation to report it. While police did not report the resolution, the tenant did say he wished to file a report in case it happens again.

Wainscott
