An East Hampton High School student who’d been building a small engine for a classroom project early last month discovered that it had been tampered with: There was glue around the engine, a rag inside it, and bolts in its gas tank.

Following a call Friday night about an erratic driver on Montauk Highway, police found and stopped the car in question.

On Newtown Lane on Saturday evening, a woman who was trying to close the Cult Gaia shop called police to say a man was harassing her, offering her money to reopen the store and following her around the Reutershan parking lot with his money. When officers arrived, the two went their separate ways.
That same evening, again on Newtown Lane, a would-be diner at Sam’s called to say he’d been turned away due to the presence of his service dog. Police informed him of the establishment’s “right to deny service.” As a compromise, the restaurant and the customer agreed that he could place a to-go order.
Sag Harbor
Three men on a boat, docked off Long Wharf on the evening of June 24, left the boat and stepped over a gate to get into Le Bilboquet when a manager approached and told one of them that his shorts and flip-flops were not proper attire for the restaurant. Words were apparently exchanged, because the manager later reported the incident to police.
Another would-be diner alleged to be wearing improper attire, this time on Sunday night at the American Hotel, also occasioned a call to police. Officers located the unwanted guest, who reportedly showed them an “F.D.N.Y.” badge, outside the restaurant. The staff had refused to serve him inside, he said, but did offer to serve him at an outside table on Main Street. He claimed, however, that the manager had called him “trash” as he walked outside. Officers told him not to return to the restaurant.
At the Corner Bar nearby, a caller reported a small bag with a white substance in the women’s bathroom Friday night. Police tested the substance, and the tests returned positive for methamphetamine, which was placed in an evidence locker.
