SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — Village Police arrested Quinn D. Hyatt, 29, who is from Rochester but currently living and working in Sag Harbor, on two charges of misdemeanor assault in the third degree on August 11. Police said Hyatt, during an altercation with a couple he works with at a Sag Harbor resort and shares living quarters with as well, punched them hard enough to cause lacerations, swelling and pain. Sag Harbor Village EMTs tended to the couple’s injuries. The couple declined to be transported to the hospital, saying that they could not afford the bill. A fourth roommate apparently witnessed and recorded the incident, according to the police report. The police placed Hyatt under arrest and transported him to headquarters where he was processed and released. It is not clear from the report if the couple had asked police for some form of an order of protection against Hyatt, who is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court.
SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — Eduardo Loja Villa, 34, was arrested by Village Police on misdemeanor DWI charges a little before noon on Friday. Police said that Loja Villa was behind the wheel of a 2021 Ford pickup at a service station on Hampton Street when he put the truck into reverse and struck another vehicle. An officer called to the scene suspected that Loja Villa was intoxicated and had him perform sobriety tests, which he failed, police said. Loja Villa was placed under arrest and taken to headquarters, where a breath test produced a reading of .20, well over the .08 mark that defines intoxication of the State of New York, as well as in excess of the .18 mark that automatically raises the misdemeanor charge to the aggravated DWI level.
SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — When the management of a hair salon on Bridge Street arrived at the shop last Thursday morning, they discovered that a white plastic picnic table located outside the store had been stolen. The picnic table had been purchased a year earlier for approximately $200. Police attempted to determine what had happened to the table by checking local surveillance cameras, but none were functioning, the report states. The management of the salon told police that they wanted to have the situation documented, which was done.
SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — A bat in the backyard was the complaint of a Main Street resident who called police Sunday around noon. “Upon arrival,” the report reads, officers “observed a bat, flying around the yard and drinking from the pool. The bat did lay on the ground.” Wildlife Rescue was contacted, and informed police that “the bat may be sick and need assistance if it was on the ground and cannot fly on its own.” Officers were able to safely coax the bat into a box, after which they took it to Round Pond. When an officer opened the box, the bat took wing and flew away.
SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — Village Police responded Saturday late afternoon to a Main Street store where a shoplifting incident had occurred. The store owner told police that a person, not identified in the report, had walked out of the store without paying for two bottles of perfume, and that when confronted the person then did return those bottles. The management of the store said they wanted that individual to be issued a trespass warning, which police did, advising the individual that if they were to return to the store, they would be placed under arrest.
SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — On the evening of August 11, police were contacted by a Main Street resident who was away from her home when she placed the call. The woman said that her daughter was home alone with her housekeeper and had alerted the mother that she had “heard a scream from outside and is now unable to locate housekeeper,” the report reads. An officer arrived at the house at about the same time as the mother arrived home, with both discovering that the daughter was “in good health, and found housekeeper in basement doing laundry.” No further action taken, the report concludes.
