The men, Matthew Cuomo of Springs, 25, and James F. DePasquale, 24, of Montauk, were additionally charged with drawing electricity from the house. All the charges are misdemeanors.

A Springs man who has been wanted by the New York Police Department for over nine years was arrested in East Hampton Village Saturday morning and charged with driving while intoxicated.

Another week closer to April 15, and there are two more reports of scammers posing as Internal Revenue Service agents. Both incidents occurred last Thursday.

A felony assault charge against a Springs man, William B. DePetris, has been reduced to a misdemeanor by the district attorney’s office, and even at that level, his attorney said last Thursday in East Hampton Town Justice Court, the charge is likely to be dropped.

The D.A.’s action was unusual in its timing. Mr. DePetris had been held in the county jail since his arraignment on March 8, unable to post $15,000 bail, and was not scheduled to return to court until today. The case was advanced to Justice Lisa R.

Surfside Taxi, based in Montauk, is now also operating out of East Hampton, where it has opened an office. This has apparently created some ill will. A Surfside driver, Junior Vladimir Vega, was filling up at the Empire gas station on North Main Street when he was approached by a driver for another company, who, according to the police log, was “arguing in regards to the fact that Surfside should stay in Montauk, and not take business away from the East Hampton taxis.” What happened next was redacted from the report.
