Trick or Treat Following several reports of missing Halloween decoration displays, a man was arrested in Montauk early Sunday morning after police found 13 jack o’ lanterns, six bales of hay, two scarecrows and an inflatable Frankenstein monster in the back of his SUV. The man told police that he was only removing the items before the arrival of Hurricane Sandy to keep them safe and had planned to return them after the storm had passed.

Shelter Island Old Man McGumbus, 107 years old and former World War II sniper, was on day four of a planned seven-day event—the “Nurses, Angels and Cats Party” that was largely attended by adult entertainers from New York City and the Ukraine—at his private estate on Shelter Island when he was arrested on Sunday evening. Police had been alerted by an anonymous source that McGumbus attempted to prepay the $1.7 million bill for the party by placing the expense on the Shelter Island Economic Improvement Society’s tab. Old Man McGumbus released a statement to the press after he was released from his jail cell on Monday night. “As chairman of the Shelter Island Economic Improvement Society, it is my duty to find creative ways to stimulate our town for local businesses. The Nurses, Angels and Cats Party brought young, hardworking people into our community, which we desperately need at this time of year. It’s this kind of cash infusion and creative thinking that will stimulate our local economy, stimulate our residents, and stimulate our local leaders.” Read more Hamptons Police Blotter and get exclusive Old Man McGumbus updates at danshamptons.com.
