East Hampton
Just before 4 a.m. on Sunday, an unruly man and woman who had been kicked out of a nightclub on Three Mile Harbor Road put up such a fuss that the police had to be called. The woman claimed she had lost her jacket and clutch purse with her car keys inside, which may have proven fortuitous as she and her companion, police said, were highly intoxicated. The man refused medical attention for cuts and bruises sustained during a tussle with a bouncer, who told police he had to try more than once to keep him from coming back inside. They couple eventually left in an Uber.

The Highway Department was called in to haul it all away — and returned two days later, when another Hand’s Creek Road resident called police to say that several old mattresses had been discarded near the same spot.
