EAST HAMPTON

• An East Hampton woman was recently charged with after police said she kicked an officer in the face while resisting arrest. East Hampton Town police were originally called in relation to reports of a domestic incident on Nov. 6 between Ashly O'Shea, 31, and her husband. Upon arrival, police said she appeared highly intoxicated and when asked to put out her cigarette, O'Shea instead blew smoke into an officers' face and proceeded to make her way inside her home. According to reports, police warned O'Shea that if she did not remove her hands from her pockets — since police were responding to reports of an incident involving a knife — she would be handcuffed while police searched for the knife and she still refused. Police reportedly attempted to cuff O'Shea, at which point she kicked an officer in the leg and was subsequently arrested for harassment of a police officer, police said. While being put into the squad car, police said she kicked an officer in the face, injuring his nose and orbital bone. O'Shea was arrested on charges of assault in the second degree, a felony, criminal mischief, two counts of harassment in the second degree, and resisting arrest.

NORTH FORK

• A Greenport man was arrested Nov. 19 after assaulting a security guard at the Five Towns Shopping Center in North Woodmere, according to police. According to Nassau County detectives, around 3 p.m., Steven Pirrera, 36, of Greenport, approached a male victim, 74, who was working as a security guard in a security vehicle in the parking lot of Five Towns Shopping Center, and attempted to open one of the car's doors. Pirrera, who had lost keys hours earlier, was upset that the security guard wasn’t able to find his keys. The victim, not knowing why the defendant would try to open his car door, drove a short distance away. Pirrera approached the victim a second time, forcibly removed him from the car, threw him to the pavement and punched him several times on the head and face, police said. The victim then called police. A Nassau County police ambulance transported the victim, who suffered pain throughout his body and sustained a laceration above his eye, requiring sutures, to a local hospital for treatment, police said. Pirrera is being charged with second-degree assault, a felony, and was arraigned on Nov. 20 in First District Court in Hempstead.
