A teenage get-together Sunday night on Arbor Path wasn't what a mother signed up for when she gave her two daughters permission to have some friends over. She returned from a night out to a house full of juveniles who wouldn't leave. She sprayed them with a portable lawn sprinkler, police were told, at which point they fled, though not before one smashed a garage window, which police recorded as criminal mischief.

Demitre Chase Sullivan of Simi Valley, Calif., climbed into the bed of a parked yellow 1959 Chevy pickup truck parked on Main Street on Saturday afternoon to take pictures "for social media," he later told police. The truck's owner returned and physically removed Mr. Sullivan from the vehicle before walking away. Police caught up with him, and he apologized for grabbing Mr. Sullivan by the neck and throwing him to the ground. Mr. Sullivan wanted the incident on record.

A 92-year-old Bridlerun Court woman got a call last week from someone claiming to be from Amazon, who told her that her credit card had been charged for the purchase of an iPhone.

The woman, a victim of fraud in the past, knew better this time, police said.

An ongoing dispute between a man and his former boss, say police, led the boss to remove a $1,400 water ski from a car parked on Hillside Drive on the night of Aug. 17. Police encouraged the unnamed boss to return the ski, which he did. 

An unconscious woman was found lying on the grass near the intersection of Hempstead and Eastville Streets at around 3 a.m. on Aug. 16. She had cuts on her forehead and injuries to her fingers, and was taken to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital.
