Two men got into a physical altercation on the greens at Willow Creek Golf Club in Mt. Sinai on July 20 at around 7:30 p.m. One man, whom police said was frustrated that the golfers in front of him were taking too long, allegedly punched and ripped the shirt of another man. The victim refused medical attention for a minor injury. 

Fences at seven homes in Smithtown were damaged over a three-day period earlier this month according to reports filed with the Suffolk County police.

Homeowners on Derby Place, Romeo Drive, Tammi Court, Highgate Drive and Summerset Drive reported damages to their fence including slats being removed, eggs being thrown and fence panels being knocked out. The spree occurred between July 11 and July 17, with most of the incidents happening between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m.
