1.

2. Nassau Man Choked Woman And Bit Her Face 'Multiple Times' In Argument That Turned Physical: Police (patch.com) — A woman is in critical but stable condition after Nassau police say a 21-year-old Hicksville man choked and repeatedly bit her face during a late-night argument at a Harding Avenue home. Officers arrested him at the scene and found he was violating an existing order of protection; he now faces serious assault and contempt charges and was held for arraignment in Hempstead.
3. Nassau high school football roundup from Week 3 (newsday.com) — Hicksville football fans can celebrate a big 35-8 road win over Jericho, powered by Erijah Britto's four-touchdown performance and strong defensive play. The Nassau County Week 3 roundup also recaps wins by Freeport, Hempstead, Bethpage, Plainedge and others, giving Hicksville readers a sense of how their team stacks up across the county.
4. Where are houses with more bedrooms for less money than the median on Long Island? (newsday.com) — Hicksville stands out as one of Nassau County's best bets for buyers seeking four or more bedrooms below the county's steep median home price. Alongside Levittown and Massapequa, Hicksville recorded dozens of such sales this year, offering relatively more space for the money as Long Island prices continue to climb.
5. Dentist from Hicksville arrested, accused of stealing over $300,000 from Medicaid (news12.com) — A Hicksville-based dentist has been charged with stealing more than $300,000 from Medicaid by allegedly billing for hundreds of procedures he never performed, including while he was vacationing in Europe. State Attorney General Letitia James says some patients then couldn't get needed treatment because records falsely showed services already provided; the dentist faces multiple felony counts and possible prison time.
