Police responded Sunday afternoon to Herrick Park, where a man had been reported “inhaling cleaning products.” He told an officer he wasn’t “huffing,” just blowing sand out of his phone.

Montauk
On Aug. 27, at the Harvest on Fort Pond restaurant, police were summoned after a man reportedly stepped on a woman’s foot and refused to apologize.

Police determined that there was no physical fight, separated the two, and left the scene.
