A Texas woman, Allison O’Neill of Houston, called police to her Main Street residence Sunday at about 11:25 p.m. to report an intruder. Officers found a woman, highly intoxicated, sitting on a bench in the mudroom. She was not able to give a clear reason for being there, though later she said she was staying at a rental on Garbis Lane in East Hampton and must have gotten lost. Ms. O’Neill did not press charges. The woman called an Uber to take her to her rental.

A North Main Street man almost fell victim to a scam on June 25 after receiving a call from someone claiming to be with the Social Security Administration, who said there had been fraudulent charges and drug trafficking using the man’s Social Security number. The caller wanted him to buy gift cards from Home Depot. When the man said he could not get there — the nearest Home Depot is in Riverhead — the caller said he could go to CVS instead. After the man hung up, he received multiple calls, but did not go to CVS. Police advised him nevertheless to contact the three major credit bureaus and to visit identitytheft.gov.

Springs
Someone was lying down, covered by blankets, on the side of the historical barn known as Duck Creek Farm, on June 26. Jessica Frost, the executive director of the town-owned facility at the corner of Three Mile Harbor and Squaw Roads, went to headquarters to file a report last Thursday. When she returned, the person was gone, but had left behind garbage and blankets. A few days earlier, she’d found a pill bottle with a name on it and believes it belonged to the person who was sleeping there. Police cleaned up the area but left the garbage for the Parks Department to remove.
