The Riverhead Police Blotter covering the period Apri 6-8, 2012 (published April 15) incorrectly stated Stuart Daccus was "charged" with larceny in connection with the alleged unauthorized use of a credit card.

The April 6 police blotter entry said a Riverhead police officer "stated" Daccus used a complainant's credit card without authorization and the matter was turned over to the detective division for investigation.

Daccus was not arrested or charged by Riverhead police. The entry in the April 6 police blotter contained the allegation of another party rather than a charge brought by police. No larceny charge was brought against Daccus as a result of the incident.

RiverheadLOCAL regrets the error and we apologize to Mr. Daccus for the incorrect report.

The court report published March 18 for the Justice Court proceedings of March 6 incorrectly reported that Susan Minnick was sentenced to 20 days in the county jail. She was not sentenced to any jail time as a result of a guilty plea she entered that day.

Show me the money: highway chief demands accounting of fund transfers

The article published Oct. 28 incorrectly stated the transfer amounts from the highway department to the general fund in the years 2004-2007.

No funds were transferred from the highway fund to the general fund in those years. Fiscal year 2008 was the first time the budget transferred an amount from the highway fund to the general fund. (The numbers reported in the article published Oct. 28 were actually the amounts transferred from the water district to the general fund for 2004-2007.)
