Two Arrests in Two Months

For the second time in as many months, 20-year-old Jacob Schwartz is behind bars at the Suffolk County jail. This time he is being held on $7,500 cash or $15,000 bond after an argument at his mother’s house on Hand’s Creek Road, East Hampton, last Thursday morning turned violent.

East Hampton Town police said Mr. Schwartz, who was arrested in Springs last month after he allegedly slashed a friend’s face, became incensed at his mother and threw her iPhone 6 to the ground, damaging it; then punched a hole in a wall. He tried to stop an officer from arresting him, police said, and yelled at the officer as he was being escorted out of the house.

He was charged with third-degree criminal mischief, a felony as there was more than $250 in damage; resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, and second-degree harassment, a violation. Following arraignment before East Hampton Town Justice Lisa R. Rana he was turned over to the Suffolk County Sheriff’s office.

Mr. Schwartz was arrested on Nov. 6 after police said he had slashed a man’s face with a razor the night before. He spent five days in the county jail before being released under state law, because he had not been indicted on the felony charge within that time. He remained in jail as of yesterday.
