Two police officers were injured in a tussle in East Hampton Village's Reutershan parking lot on Thursday night, resulting in two charges of second-degree assault, a class D felony, for an 18-year-old East Hampton man.
Nicholas Lamonda, who police said was acting "disorderly," reportedly attempted to run after being approached by East Hampton Village police officers who had been assigned to patrol the Halloween festivities. Mr. Lamonda then "violently" resisted arrest, the police report indicates.
After Mr. Lamonda was in custody, the officers were taken to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, where they were treated and released.
In addition to the felony counts, police are charging Mr. Lamonda with obstructing governmental administration in the second-degree, a class A misdemeanor, resisting arrest, another class A misdemeanor, and disorderly conduct and second-degree harassment, both violations.
At his arraignment Friday morning in East Hampton Town Justice Court, Mr. Lamonda was released under pretrial supervision with a follow-up date set for Dec. 12.
