East Hampton Village

At around 2 p.m. on Saturday, police logged a complaint about loud music from a band playing on Borden Lane. Officers discovered a small party for children, with one person playing a guitar, and left without incident.

 That night, at 11:01 p.m. — one minute after loud-music cutoff time — a caller reported raucous noise and a party at a house near the intersection of Pleasant and Newtown Lanes. Officers found a small party happening, but no music. About an hour later, at 12:03 a.m., another caller complained of loud music coming from the same house. Once again, however, police found only a group of people laughing and talking. The partygoers were asked to respect the neighbors and speak more quietly.

The driver of a GMC LED billboard-ad truck, parked Saturday afternoon in front of 94 Main Street, was informed by police that such vehicles are not allowed to park on village streets. The driver turned off the lighted billboard and left.

A New York City woman is reported to have slept in the village gazebo in Herrick Park Friday night and left garbage there. When police approached her on Saturday morning, she refused to answer questions.

A village resident found a jar of bullets while cleaning her basement on Friday and walked it over to police headquarters for disposal.

Unspecified marine activity prompted village lifeguards to close Two Mile Hollow Beach on Friday at around 11 a.m. A drone was deployed, but found no sign of dangerous marine life.

Someone reported last Thursday morning that “people on hydrofoil boards” appeared to be chasing dolphins at Main Beach. Police found neither dolphins nor hydrofoils.

Angela Renee Stulley told police last Thursday afternoon that three rings and a bracelet had gone missing from the dining room table at her Wireless Road house. She wanted it documented for insurance purposes.

A dog belonging to a Buell Lane woman was running free on Wiborg’s Beach at 8:58 a.m. last week when police ticketed her for lack of a leash.

Police received a call on Aug. 23 about an abandoned black Honda motorcycle at the corner of Buell Lane and Church Street. A nearby resident said it had been there for a few days. The circa-1980 vehicle was impounded, and a helmet was put in the police property room for safekeeping.

A Bronxville, N.Y., woman allegedly drove a 2016 Land Rover into a 2015 Toyota on the morning of Aug. 23, during a dispute over a parking spot at the Pantigo Road CVS. The police report had no further information.

A Southampton contractor was given a summons on the morning of Aug. 22 after police saw him injuring or removing shade trees along public property near 24 Egypt Lane. He was given a Sept. 5 date to appear in East Hampton Town Justice Court.

Montauk

A Montana woman emailed the Royal Atlantic on July 23 to let them know that her Visa debit card had been used to reserve a room at the resort. She was overdrawn by $2,032.14. A property manager checked the reservation and determined that an unnamed person in Room 235 had charged the room to the caller. The woman said she’d already deactivated the card and would be filing a fraud claim.

Springs

Katrina Dupont of Providence, R.I., was driving on Springs-Fireplace Road near Hog Creek Road last Thursday when a deer ran into the road. She swerved to avoid it, and hit a tree. She later told police that she’d left the scene to take her dogs home, and when she returned to the vehicle via foot, it was gone. Police determined that it had already been towed.

Long Days on the Fire Line In Orange County

East Hampton and Amagansett firefighters volunteered to head north last week to help fight a 5,000-acre wildfire in Orange County, N.Y., not once but twice, battling unfamiliar terrain to do so. “They fight fires completely differently than we do when we have a brush fire,” the Amagansett chief said.
