An East Hampton man was charged with a felony on March 31 following a domestic dispute. Noe W. Guaman-Nieves, 32, allegedly hit a woman in the face, despite an order of protection against him.

East Hampton Town police said it happened at about 10 p.m. at a house on Oyster Shores Road. Justice Steven Tekulsky had ordered the man to refrain from harassing the victim. He was charged with first-degree criminal contempt and second-degree harassment, a violation, just before midnight, and released on his own recognizance following arraignment, by video, on April 1.

Brian T. Rivera-Aguirre, 24, of Montauk was charged with petty larceny on Saturday for allegedly stealing a John Varvatos brown leather jacket at the Clubhouse in Wainscott back on March 14. He was released on an appearance ticket.

They're heralded by local police for aiding in enforcement and investigations, but they use a technology that has proven controversial nationally with those concerned about civil liberties.
