On the Police Logs

A six-wheeled box truck loaded with cargo got stuck on May 16 when it was driven off the road and onto the steep edge of the village green on East Hampton’s Main Street. Village Police Detective Sgt. Greg Brown said heavy rain played a role in the mishap. Police called Rapid Recovery to tie down the truck and winch it off the dirt so that it did not tip over. No tickets were issued.

Construction workers on Greenwich Street spotted a pile of hay bales and cut brush smoldering and partially on fire on May 7. They extinguished the fire. Three days later, the homeowner learned about the fire and asked the caretaker to contact police, who took photographs and searched the area but found nothing suspicious. Tom Baker, the assistant chief fire marshal, told police the fire was most likely caused by spontaneous combustion due to decomposition within the hay bales.
