MONTAUK — A customer at a downtown gas station in downtown Montauk paid $12 cash for gas but then pumped less than $5 worth before driving off the evening of April 5. The driver later returned and became irate demanding his change for the transaction be returned, before going back to the pump and pumping out the rest of the gas he paid for. Police were called to calm things down. It became clear after interviewing several employees at the gas station that this was not the first such incident involving this customer. Management asked police to advise the man not to return to the gas station and asked for a trespass warning to be issued, when police are able to get in contact with the man.
