SOUTHAMPTON POLICE robbery, marijuana arrests

A 48-year-old man was arrested Sunday night shortly after he allegedly attacked and robbed a person who was walking near Private Rod in Riverside, Southampton Town Police said.

Police were called to the area for reports of a disturbance when they found the victim, an area resident, who said he was attacked by a man who kicked and punched him several times before taking his cell phone and cash.

Garland Massenburg of Flanders was located and arrested a short time later after he was positively identified by the victim, officials said.

He was charged with robbery and was being held for a Monday morning arraignment in Southampton Town Justice Court.
