On Aug. 19, Southold police were called to Fourth and Clark streets in Greenport on a report of a fistfight involving Greenport residents Edwardo Lopez, 22, and Jose Guillen, 28.

• On Aug. 19, Christopher Malinauskas of Riverhead reported to Southold Town Police that he’d had spent a month shooting photos, videos and drone footage for Mattituck private chef Ryan Carroll for a previously agreed-upon fee of $1,500, but had never been paid. Mr. Malinauskas claimed that when he turned over a thumb drive of the footage and gave Mr. Carroll a contract for his services, Mr. Carroll said he needed a week to make payment. When he attempted to follow up a week later, Mr. Malinauskas said, Mr. Carroll had blocked his cell number and blocked contact via social media. Police efforts to reach Mr. Carroll were unsuccessful, according to authorities, and Mr. Malinauskas was advised that the dispute was a civil matter that should be pursued in court.
