Two men in a car parked at CVS called police to say that another man “had been banging on the window, shouting in another language.” Officers found the offender, a Floral Park resident, on Pantigo Road out front and reported that he appeared intoxicated. He said he was “trying to locate his friends by knocking on car windows.” He then tried to run away, but tripped over his own flip-flops in the middle of the road.

A cousin eventually showed up and said he would take the man home.

A birthday party thrown by a Harbor Avenue woman generated three separate calls to the police on Aug. 19.

That call came in a little before midnight. Shortly after, Ms. Quadland called police to report that a group of uninvited youths had shown up and were smoking marijuana in the front yard. The youths dispersed when police arrived. The final call came in at 1:36 a.m. from a Harbor Avenue neighbor who reported a fight was going on.

She was advised to remain inside if it happened again, and to phone 911.
