Police: Tickets, trespass and identity theft

Three tickets were issued during the week. A motorist was given a summons on Manwaring Road for speeding — 50 mph in a 35-mph zone. Another driver was issued a ticket for unlicensed operation on Ram Island Drive, and a third was ticketed on South Ferry Road for using a cellphone without a hands-free device.

ACCIDENTS

Ruth D. Matttson of Shelter Island was making a left-hand turn onto Smith Street from North Midway Road on March 3 when, according to the police report, she said the vehicle lunged forward and she collided with a phone pole on the shoulder of the roadway. There was more than $1,000 in damage to the front end of her vehicle and property damage to the pole.
