EAST HAMPTON VILLAGE — Emerson Hudson Greaves, 64, of Springfield Gardens, Queens, was arrested by East Hampton Village Police the night of October 2 after a traffic stop on Pantigo Road near the East Hampton Town government complex. Police said the 2007 Toyota 4Runner Greaves was driving did not have proper license plate illumination, leading to the stop. The officer who made the stop said that Greaves’s vehicle registration was suspended because the insurance on the 4Runner had lapsed back in March. After making the arrest on that misdemeanor unregistered vehicle charge, the officer discovered that Greaves was in possession of brass knuckles, leading to a misdemeanor charge of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, according to police. After he was arrested, Greaves was issued an appearance ticket to be arraigned in East Hampton Town Justice court on October 16, and was released.

The East Hampton resident who called police said that he was walking his dog on the beach and that his dog had gone over to another dog “to greet him.” At that point, the East Hampton man said, the owner of the other dog kicked his dog. The East Hampton man said that he then asked the other dog owner, “Was that really necessary?” At that point, the man told police, the other dog owner punched him in the face twice. The two men then wrestled down into the sand. The scuffle was broken up by another beachgoer, the report says. Before the other dog owner left, he kicked sand on the East Hampton man’s dog. The other dog owner walked away east down the beach. Police looked for the other dog owner, but could not find him. The East Hampton man had visible swelling on the right side of his head, police said, but told them he did not want the matter pursued any further.
SPRINGS — A Springs woman spoke with Town Police last Thursday about a fraud that had occurred in June. The woman told police that she had paid $850 for insurance to someone who apparently was representing themselves as an insurance agent. The person she paid sent her insurance cards for her vehicle, but recently she was notified by the insurance company that the payment she had made did not go through, and that her auto insurance was invalid. She has repeatedly attempted to contact the agent regarding the $850 she had paid, without success. Police are looking into the matter.
