Andrew Reister, a Long Island corrections officer who worked a second job as a Southampton Bouncer, died yesterday after he had been choked out by a customer earlier in the week. Reister was allegedly choked out for over a minute by Anthony Oddone (pictured) after the two got into a scuffle after Reister told him to stop dancing on a table. Oddone, a college golfer and country-club caddie, has been charged with first degree assault for the time being. "How ironic it's another golfer who took him out," the victim's wife Stacy Reister lamented. Oddone will appear in court on Tuesday.
