Long Island beer makers
Blue Point Brewing plan to
open a small brewpub below
Seamore’s restaurant on Water
Street in early August, a
brewery bigwig said at a May
1 community meeting.
The artisan watering hole
will host one of the company’s
so-called innovation brewers,
who will craft beers on site
for up to 75 patrons who will
fit into the snug 1,500 squarefoot
space. The establishment
between Main and Dock
streets will be open Wednesdays
to Sundays, and might
host classes for aspiring beeristas
on Mondays and Tuesdays,
its manager said.
“We’d love to do local collaboration
brews and potentially
do some classes for the
community and we will be
putting on draft the innovation
brews we’ll be creating
here,” said the Dumbo drinkery’s
general manager Chris
Chou at Community Board 2’s
Health, Environment and Social
Services Committee.

have some musicians serenading

Brooklyn offi cer booted from NYPD
PLG Cop pleads guilty to fraud scheme

This cop will protect and
serve — a two-to-six year
prison sentence.
A Brooklyn cop was sentenced
to a minimum two
years in prison on May 1 after
using his dead mother’s
name to enrich himself and
horde narcotics in a more than
yearlong fraud scheme that
netted him nearly $100,000 in
benefits, according to the District
Attorney’s office.
Edward Ian St. Hill, who
served at Prospect Lefferts
Garden’s 71st Precinct, was
booted from the force after
pleading guilty to criminal
possession of narcotics, felony
larceny, and criminal
possession of a weapon on
March 29.
In addition to serving time
in prison, Kings County Supreme
Court Justice Danny
Chun further ordered Hill
to repay more than $39,000
to the Social Security Administration,
and more than
$55,000 to the Service Employees
International Union
Pension Fund.
St. Hill arranged for a death
certificate bearing a fake social
security number following
the death of his mother, Germain
St. Hill, in 2016.
Ramos, impersonated her
mother-in-law in phone calls to
the Social Security Administration
and the pension fund in
a bid to keep the benefit checks
coming, according to Brooklyn’s
top prosecutor.
“This former police officer
allowed greed to overtake his
principles to the point where
he was willing to use his deceased
mother’s identity to
steal tens of thousands of
dollars,” said District Attorney
Eric Gonzalez.
Ramos, who also plead
guilty in March, is scheduled
for sentencing on May
29, where she’ll get five-years
probation, said Gonzalez.
