Suffolk County Police Officer Shot in the Face During Bay Shore Warrant Search

Posted on July 24, 2025
On June 26, Robert Eccleston appeared before the Ocean Beach Village Justice Court in shackles and chains, escorted by Suffolk County Sheriffs to answer for an outstanding bench warrant dating back to 2010. Eccleston is among 13 people arrested in connection with the East Patchogue missing teen case, which kept Long Islanders along the Great South Bay riveted to news reports throughout the winter of 2024/25 as sordid details about her disappearance in December continued to unfold. She was found on January 3 in a boat moored at Islip Hamlet’s Whitecap Marina.

A few days before the Invasion took place, I had the pleasure of meeting entrepreneur Tristan Schukraft for lunch at The Canteen. He is a man of vision, yet also a warm, relatable, and down-to-earth guy. By the way, The Canteen’s burnt brisket sandwich is fantastic, I highly recommend it!

Summer tunes are in the air and making a splash in our July 18 edition of Fire Island News. Glyn Emmerson writes about the bands that jammed in Kismet and Atlantique over the July 4th Weekend. Robert Levine covered the world-class opera singer who recently performed at Whyte Hall in Fire Island Pines. Then, Rob Verbeck ventured out with his camera to catch the action at Alive After Five in downtown Patchogue. The music continues over the weekend of July 24 as the Great South Bay Music Festival comes back for its 17th summer in Shorefront Park in Patchogue Village. Omar Drissi gives us a rundown of what to expect for this upcoming crown jewel event in the Long Island music calendar. Fire Island News is also proudly working with the Great South Bay Music Festival on a special sweepstakes for our readers. One lucky person will win two VIP tickets to this extravaganza, featuring 55 performers on four stages over four days. No purchase is necessary to enter.
