Police Logs: Coke Found in Marshall's Fuel Lot, Cabbie's License Fake

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

The East Hampton Town police released the following arrests on Monday.

James A. Corley, 24, of New York City, was arrested on a drug charge after police said they caught him with a plastic baggy of cocaine in the parking lot in Montauk on Saturday. Corley and a friend were sitting between two parked cars at the corner of Montauk Highway and South Embassy Street when an officer approached them at about 1:20 a.m. Corley allegedly threw the bag into the flower bed near where he was sitting. He was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor, and released on $100 station-house bail. The substance later tested positive for cocaine. He is due back in court for arraignment on Aug. 11.

Taxi cab driver Enock P. Reid, 31, of Montauk, was arrested after police said they discovered his license was a forgery. Reid was pulled over in a cab on Montauk Highway near Napeague Meadow Road in Amagansett when he failed to dim his high-beams for an officer on Monday at 2:45 a.m. The Georgia license he provided was assigned to someone else, police said, and later they found it did not have the repeating state seal on valid Georgia licenses. Reid was charged with second-degree possession of a forged instrument. Police did not provide the name of the cab company or his arraignment information.
