SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — Two Sag Harbor men were arrested this past weekend on misdemeanor criminal contempt charges for, Village Police said, violating court orders of protection in two unrelated incidents. Quinn S. Mignott, 39, was arrested on the charge early Saturday morning after a dispute that apparently started in a Main Street bar before Mignott and the person he was with exited the bar, continuing their dispute on Main Street. Witnesses were concerned for the other party’s well-being and called police. Mignott and the other individual then got into a car, witnesses said, with Mignott sitting in the front passenger seat. Given a description of the car, police soon located it nearby. When police interviewed Mignott and the driver, they learned that the driver had a standing court order of protection, which required Mignott to have absolutely no contact with the driver, who was the owner of the car the two were sitting in. Mignott was placed under arrest on the misdemeanor criminal contempt charge, then arraigned and released later Saturday morning. The second man to be arrested on the same contempt charge in Sag Harbor this weekend was Tal Litvin, 49. Police say Litvin attended an event in Sag Harbor, where he lives, Sunday morning, despite knowing that present at that location was an individual for whom a court stay away order of protection had previously been issued against Litvin. When any judge issues a stay-away order of protection, the defendant is reminded to stay 100 yards away from the protected party except in very specific circumstances, conditions which, police say, Litvin violated. After investigating the complaint, police located Litvin in Southampton, where they picked him up and placed him under arrest on the misdemeanor criminal contempt charge. Litvin was held overnight, then arraigned Monday morning, in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court, where he was warned by Sag Harbor Justice Carl Irace to adhere to and abide by the language of the order of protection, after which Litvin was released.
SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — A village employee in the Municipal Building on Main Street pushed the panic button last Thursday afternoon, alerting police to a disturbance being caused by a 58-year-old man, whom police described as intoxicated. According to the police report, the man began shouting ethnic slurs and acted in a threatening manner in the village clerk’s office, which is about a 30-second walk from police headquarters. After receiving the alert, officers arrived at the front door of the Municipal Building. At that point, police say, the man began screaming at them, again acting in a threatening manner, leading to his arrest on a violation charge of disorderly conduct. When police searched the man, they found that he had an open container of an intoxicant in his pocket, leading to a second violation charge of committing a prohibited act under village code. Police were unable to determine the man’s hometown after the arrest, because he did not have any legal identification other than one from his native country of El Salvador, the report indicates. Police took the man to police headquarters, processed him, and released him with an appearance ticket which requires him to return to the same Municipal Building to be arraigned in Village Justice Court on Friday.
SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — A woman came into police headquarters on Division Street last Thursday afternoon to report that, at some point between early morning October 28 and early morning October 29, her car, which had been parked on Rysam Street, had been rummaged through by a thief who made off with three pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses, valued at a total of $638. Investigating the incident, police found that there were no witnesses and no surveillance cameras in the area, which could help them identify the thief. On Halloween, another resident came to police headquarters to report that his car, parked on Bay Street, not far from Rysam Street, had been rummaged through during roughly the same time period as the Rysam Street theft, but that nothing had been stolen or damaged. The man told police he could not provide any surveillance video to help further the investigation.
