East Hampton Village

Police responded to a noise complaint at Riverhead Building Supply on the night of Sept. 16. The company had large trucks that were creating a loud banging noise, an employee told police, but the trucks were done for the night at that point.

About an hour later, police investigated another noise complaint, this time of “explosion” noises near Conklin Terrace. At the scene, police, too, could hear the noises but could not locate the source, they informed the caller.

A dog owner on Pantigo Road reported on Sept. 21 that her friend had refused to return her dog after offering to care for it while the owner recovered from a broken leg. Once healed, the woman asked for her dog back, but her friend refused. Police documented the incident.

On Freemont Road, a woman called police about a FedEx driver she said was speeding and honking on her street around noon on Sept. 17. The driver told police that the company has a policy that instructs drivers to honk when going around a blind curve. A UPS driver on the scene confirmed that his company has a similar policy.

After finding a Facebook Marketplace listing for a rental on Tuthill Road, a man signed a contract and sent an initial $2,470, followed by another $1,107, he told police. Since then, he has been unable to reach the man he had been in communication with, and on the evening of Sept. 14, he reported the apparent scam. Police filed a larceny report.

It was only 15 minutes from the time Kent Feuerring took off from East Hampton Town Airport in his Seamax M-22 on the pristine morning of Oct. 6, 2022, until the right wing separated from the plane, causing him to crash in Three Mile Harbor.
