After receiving a congratulatory call on the afternoon of July 27, an East Hampton woman thought she had won $25 million in a Publisher’s Clearing House giveaway.

A charge of third-degree assault followed a car accident that led to an altercation.

In on accident in Springs at around 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 9, a 2005 Audi left the road and hit a retaining wall, a basketball hoop, and a mailbox at a house on Guernsey Lane, sustaining significant damange. A trail of fluid from the accident led police to the vehicle, which the driver had parked at her nearby home.
