The Martha’s Vineyard Drug Task Force arrested an Island man on Monday as he was driving off the ferry in Vineyard Haven with 50 grams of uncut heroin hidden in the brake light of his pickup truck.

Police said the heroin has an estimated street value of $10,000.

The Martha’s Vineyard’s Wampanoag tribe is preparing to mount a legal challenge to the Cape Wind project.

In a press release this week, the tribe announced it had retained counsel and gave as its reason the fact that the federal Interior Department had declined their latest request for a meeting to discuss the latest — and probably the last — formal report on the project.

Oak Bluffs police and emergency management personnel were dispatched to a possible boater in distress near the Little Bridge Monday afternoon, but instead found a man scalloping in a small, unregistered wooden skiff.

Instead of being rescued he was issued a ticket for operating an unregistered motor vessel.

Police were first alerted to a possible boater in trouble in Nantucket Sound off the breakwater around 3 p.m. Oak Bluffs Lieut. Timothy Williamson, officers David Berube and Jeffrey LaBell, and emergency management coordinator Peter Martell responded.

A memorial service for Tom Osmers at the Chilmark Community Center on Saturday ended with the arrest of well-known Menemsha fisherman Karsten D. Larsen, amid allegations that he groped a 15-year-old girl and punched a teenage boy.

Mr. Larsen, 43, of Flanders Lane, Menemsha, was charged with three counts of threat to commit a crime, two charges of assault and battery and one count of indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or over. During his arraignment on Monday a plea of not guilty was entered on his behalf, and he was released on $1,000 bail.
