Cops: Man Held on $500 Cash Bail After Violating Order of Protection

Christopher L. Metz is still behind bars.

The following information was supplied by the East Hampton Town Police Department. A criminal charge is only an accusation and does not indicate guilt.

• A 38-year-old Wainscott man is being held at the Suffolk County jail in lieu of bail after he allegedly violated a court order on Jan. 9.

Police said that Christopher L. Metz had been served with a court order, effective through Feb. 28, 2014, to refrain from act of violence or threat. However, he reportedly violated that court order when he tried to prevent the person from calling 911 during a domestic dispute. He was arrested on Amagansett Drive in East Hampton at about 11:05 a.m. He was charged with criminal contempt in the first degree, a felony, criminal mischief in the fourth degree, a misdemeanor, and second-degree harassment, a violation.

Justice Lisa R. Rana set bail at $500 cash or $1,000 bond. He was turned over to the Suffolk County Sheriff's office, where he remained on Tuesday.

• Milton V. Pangol, 20, of Southampton, was arrested on a drunken driving charge on Jan. 10 in East Hampton. Police said they received a call of an erratic driver n the area when they found Pangol driving a 1996 Honda with a flat tire and a shattered rear window on Ocean Boulevard at about 5:30 p.m. He appeared intoxicated, police said. At headquarters, Pangol was being taken out of handcuffs when he punched Officer Nichola J. Lloyd in the bottom jaw at about 6:30 p.m. He was further charged with second-degree harassment, a violation. Following arraignment the next day, before Justice Steven Tekulsky, he was released on $500 bail.
