East Hampton Village

A complaint last Thursday of a political table positioned in front of the post office summoned police, who did not encounter any such setup.

An elderly man was seen later that day to get out of his white Toyota pickup truck on Main Street and urinate on the sidewalk outside Dayton Ritz & Osborne Insurance.

On Saturday morning, on the back patio of a Lily Pond Lane house, three large garbage bags full of sawdust and polyurethane paint cans spontaneously combusted. The flames were extinguished by the homeowners before firefighters arrived.

Police corralled a "large brown boxer," not wearing a collar, on Main Street on March 15, and held onto him until he could be reunited with his owners, who eventually came looking for their recently adopted pet. They said they'd left him in the car with the window open.
