• Police arrested Kyle Skrezec, 24, of Southold last Thursday after he was parked in a lot on Main Road in Mattituck.

He was placed under arrest and taken to headquarters for processing and arraignment.

• An 18-year old Mattituck man told police on Saturday that he was harassed on social media.

An investigation is continuing.
