Cops: Southold man arrested on false personation charge

A Southold man was arrested for false personation after he was questioned by police for sleeping in the North Ferry terminal in Greenport Saturday. 

Richard Kurdt, 46, who has two outstanding warrants in Southold Town, gave police another name when he was confronted by an officer shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday, police said. He and another man had been sleeping inside the ferry terminal and urinating both inside and out of the building, police said.

Mr. Kurdt was charged with false personation and brought to police headquarters for processing. The other man was released and told not to return to the building.

Mr. Kurdt was most recently arrested on a harassment charge in Mattituck this past August.
