Last week’s police blotter had a little of everything: missing pills, mystery arrows, phantom window taps, and a misunderstanding involving the phrase “I’m flashing you.” Police also dealt with a houseful of adults whose heated discussion about the new owner of The Candyman turned out to be more spirited than criminal. Throw in an abandoned crash scene, a teenage beach party and a few calls that led nowhere and you’ve got another colorful week on the North Fork.

May 11 – Around 4 p.m., a Greenport resident reported to police that she had a prescription medication containing about 85 hydrocodone pills that were mailed to her from a Veterans Affairs pharmacy, and it was apparently delivered and left on her porch, and then taken from the porch. A responding officer canvassed the neighborhood for potential surveillance camera footage, but came up empty, according to a police report.

Around 6 p.m., a Windjammer Drive resident contacted police about a problem she said she’s been having with arrows being shot onto her property. The resident told police she went to check her pool equipment for the first time this season, and found an arrow stock in the wireless antenna for her pool system. A responding officer observed the arrow stuck in the antenna, and photographed it. The woman said it would cost her $600 to replace the antenna, and it remains unclear, according to the report, where the arrows are coming from.

Around 9:30 p.m., a Paradise Shores Rd. resident contacted police to reporting hearing someone possibly tapping on her window. Two officers responded and canvassed the area, without locating anyone suspicious. The resident was advised to contact police again if she notices any further suspicious activity.

Sketchy scratches

May 13 – Around 8:30 a.m., a Pipes Neck Rd. resident called police to report that a blue Ford sedan, with the first and last numbers on the license plates scratched off, sitting at the end of Pipes Neck Rd., with a male in the driver’s seat. The resident reported that the car had no Southold parking permit and that the driver looked “suspicious.” When police arrived, the blue sedan was gone. The resident was advised to call police if the same car returns.

Around 4 p.m., staff at a Greenport hospital contacted police to report that a 73-year-old Shelter Island Heights man was refusing to leave the hospital. When police arrived, the man was standing outside the hospital entrance, and told police he was denied entry to see his “fiancée,” a 47-year-old Greenport woman. When told she was not permitted visitors at this time, the man became “irate and stated that this is ‘bullshit’ and left the [area] on his bike.”  

Around 10 p.m., police received a report of an intoxicated driver Black Jeep Wrangler in Cutchogue. Police located the vehicle traveling south on Moores Lane and initiated a traffic stop. According to a police report, Angelina Segura, 23, of East Setauket was determined to be intoxicated and arrested for alleged DWI.

May 15 – Around 11 p.m., police responded to a report of “multiple teens, possibly sick” at Peconic Dunes County Park, according to a police report. What they found was a “large number of teens” having a party. “No sick individuals were located,” according to the report, but cops broke up the party without further incident.

May 16 – Around 1:30 p.m., police responded to Mattituck Plaza for a local man with known address and well-known to police, who was “dialing 911 and not saying anything.” They located the 53-year-old man in the woods, according to a police report. The man told the police his friend had been giving him a hard time and he wanted the friend to leave. But he did not know the friend’s name, and appeared intoxicated. The friend had left before the police arrived, and the man told the officers that he no longer needed police assistance, according to the report.

‘Flashed’

Around 7:30 p.m., a Greenport woman parked on Aquaview Ave. in East Marion contacted police to report that “she had been ‘flashed’ by a white male subject wearing a beard and white pants.” When police arrived, the woman told them that, while parked in her car, the man had approached her vehicle and “stated ‘I’m flashing you,’ while standing uncomfortably close to her driver’s side door,” according to a police report. When she asked the man to step back, he did not comply, according to the report. “She interpreted his statement as sexual in nature and left the area to avoid further confrontation. [She] stated that she did not observe the male expose himself at any time.” Police located the man and interviewed him. He told them he had been in his vehicle, on his lawn, and noticed the woman sitting in her car. Unsure of her purpose, according to the report, and “concerned she might be canvassing his residence,” he “flashed his vehicle lights at [the other driver] multiple times with no response, so he approached her vehicle to speak with her.” He told police that during their conversation, the woman “suddenly drove off at a high rate of speed.” The misunderstanding was cleared up by police.

The Candyman

May 16 – Shortly after 11 p.m., police were called to a West Bay Ave. residence in Orient, after a 37-year-old Manhattan woman told police that an Orient man, 44, was “highly intoxicated and acting belligerent” at the location. Multiple cops responded, and interviewed a total of four people at the house. According to a police report, “all parties were having a conversation in the living room about the new owner of The Candyman,” when the Manhattan woman “felt nervous and uncomfortable with the tone and how [the Orient man] was speaking, and texted the 911 line.” Ultimately, everyone involved “confirmed at no point were there threats, acts of violence, or any weapons involved.”

May 17 – Around 1:30 a.m., police received a report of a motor vehicle accident with airbag deployment near Breakwater Rd. and West Mill Rd. in Mattituck. Responding officers found the crashed vehicle, but not the driver. They ran the plates and determined that the vehicle owner lived on Lake Dr. They went to that location, and found Michael Sellick, 30, of Southold, outside of his residence. According to a police report, Sellick “did admit to crashing the listed vehicle” after having been drinking, and subsequently performed poorly on field sobriety tests, according to police. He was arrested for alleged driving while intoxicated.

Around 8:30 p.m., an anonymous caller reported “approximately 5 intoxicated … male subjects causing an unreasonable amount of noise near the corner of 3rd St. and Webb St. in Greenport. Responding officers were unable to locate any group fitting that description.

All individuals named in police reports are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. Charges may be reduced, dismissed or result in an acquittal.
