A man tossed a liquor bottle from his boat to another boat docked at Gurney’s Resort and Marina on Star Island Road in Montauk on Sept. 1, breaking a woman’s nose and leading to an assault charge.
East Hampton Town police said Andrew Rego of Southampton, 51, “tossed” a glass Bacardi rum bottle to the other boat, hitting a woman in the face, at about 7:45 p.m. Her nose was broken and she was in substantial pain. She was treated at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital.
Mr. Rego was charged about three hours later with third-degree assault, for recklessly causing physical injury. He was released on an appearance ticket and will be arraigned in East Hampton Town Justice Court today.
A 56-year-old Montauk man was arrested at about 8:45 a.m. on Sept. 8 on a misdemeanor charge of growing cannabis plants at his Fleming Road property. Police said there were two potted cannabis plants in plain view on the north side of Joseph John Noll’s house. The plants were field-tested for the presence of marijuana and reportedly tested positive. Mr. Noll, who was released on his own recognizance, will be arraigned in Justice Court on Wednesday.
In East Hampton Village, a business owner was charged last Thursday with two misdemeanors for issuing bad checks. In January, said Officer Jennifer Dunn, who is assigned to the detective division, Robert A. Pollifrone, 56, of Baiting Hollow, who owns Buoy One on Race Lane, wrote a check for $7,714.68 for that month’s rent on two spaces, 17 Race Lane and 19 Race Lane, the store and a catering facility. The check bounced, according to the police report. In the months following, there was an ongoing civil dispute between Mr. Pollifrone and his landlord, Bruce Siska, over one of the spaces. Then the July rent check, $4,100 for the 17 Race Lane space, bounced as well.
Mr. Pollifrone was released on his own recognizance and will appear in Justice Court on Nov. 7.
