Amagansett

A clear tackle box with a blue bottom was stolen last week from Nathaniel Miller’s 24-foot Privateer boat, which is moored next to the Lazy Point launching ramp. It contained an assortment of fishing supplies, knives, and safety equipment.

 

East Hampton 

Last Thursday night at Sam’s Auto, a disagreement between Brian Raab and an unnamed co-owner of Sam’s turned physical. Mr. Raab called 911 but said he did not want to press charges, though he asked to have the incident on record.

On the morning of May 27, a caller on Toilsome Lane complained about an Island Concrete truck that was being washed down in the middle of the road. Police could not find the truck in question but did find another Island truck, and advised its driver not to wash it down in the roadway.

A mother overheard a conversation between her 18-year-old son and a 17-year-old girl in the Main Beach parking lot over the weekend, and told police that the girl had said she wanted to fight the boy. An officer spoke to all three and learned that there was no fight, just a disagreement between friends. The three were asked not to congregate in the parking lot.

 

East Hampton Village

Someone called police from the Egypt Beach parking lot on the afternoon of May 26 to complain about “an old man doing yoga and blocking access to the beach.” No one of that description could be found.

 

Sag Harbor

On the afternoon of May 27, a village officer noted a parked car on High Street with its motor running, and keys in the engine but no one inside. The officer waited a while, then removed the keys, locked the car, and left a note on the windshield saying the keys could be found at the Sag Harbor police station.

After two New York Post reporters parked their truck in the driveway of 203 Jermain Avenue on the afternoon of May 27, the renter of the house, Jonathan Davis, called police to complain that they had been filming in the driveway. The Post later published a story about Mr. Davis saying that, citing the governor’s executive order against eviction, he had refused to leave the house despite his lease having expired.

Last Thursday, and again on Friday and Sunday, there were numerous reports of things getting wet and too wild in Sag Harbor Cove. People on personal watercraft repeatedly ignored the cove’s five miles-per hour speed limit, police were told. One offender was aboard a yellow Jet-Ski-type craft, another was spotted in front of the Beacon restaurant, but there was no other information in the police report.

On Sunday evening officers were driving by 72 Main Street when they noticed two people drawing on the ground. They later found “CAN’T BREATHE,” in reference to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, written in chalk on the sidewalk.

 

Wainscott

An officer was responding to a complaint about a motorboat on Georgica Pond on the afternoon on May 26 when the caller spotted the police car and flagged it down. When the two got near to each other, the caller saw that the officer was not wearing a mask and refused to speak or give any further information. The officer was unable to find the boat.

Police at first thought that the water reported to be flowing onto Church Street last Thursday afternoon came from a water main break, but found upon arriving at the scene that it was being pumped from a nearby swimming pool, a violation of the village code.
