NAPEAGUE — After speaking with Melissa Rossi, 22, of Jersey City in the Beach Hampton area of Amagansett last Thursday night, East Hampton Town Police ended up placing her under arrest on a charge of false personation, a misdemeanor. In addition, she had an active arrest warrant issued out of East Hampton Town Court. Rossi was previously arrested by East Hampton Town Police on multiple felony charges in July.

False personation is a class B misdemeanor. She was held overnight and then released, this time with an order to report to the Suffolk County Department of Probation to be fitted with a GPS bracelet, with a future date on the East Hampton Town Justice Court’s criminal calendar.
