Don’t Always Mow the Lawn, But When I Do…I Bring My Gun.
One South Kingstown man takes mowing his lawn very seriously.
So serious in fact, that he allegedly decided to pack some heat last
week while battling his yard.
According to South Kingstown police, debris from the
man’s lower shot out and hit a truck passing by. When two men driving the truck
turned around to confront lawnmower man, the 65-year-old man pulled out his gun
and asked them if they wanted to fight. Apparently, the answer to the question
was no as the two men called police to report the man.
Phone-A-Friend
Fail
When facing a DUI charge after crashing your car, it is
probably advisable to call someone for help who is – unlike you - not under
the influence. According to reports, a Massachusetts woman suspected of drunk driving crashed her car in a
construction zone near the new Sakonnet River Bridge in Tiverton.
As officers were cuffing the 21-year-old woman, her
friend pulled up and told police the woman had called him for help after
crashing her car. As police spoke with the man, they noticed that he was also
allegedly under the influence and subsequently arrested him as well.
Man
Caught Drinking at Police Station
A South Kingstown man arrived at the police department
last week, willing to turn himself in. There was just one problem: there were
no warrants out for his arrest. But, the man soon gave police a reason to
arrest him after officers allegedly found him
holding and drinking from a 40-ounce bottle of Old English malt liquor and a
loaded BB gun on him.
According to police, the 20-year-old man told officers he
wanted to go to the ACI because he could get three meals a day and a bed. When
officers told the man he could not smoke in the processing room, he reportedly
said, “I have other illegal stuff in my car. I will show it to you if you let
me have a cigarette.”
At first, police did not find any illegal contraband in
his car, but did find it was illegally parked in a handicapped spot. With the
man’s help, police allegedly found cocaine hidden in two secret compartments in
the car.
Babies on Board for Triple Arrest at Wal-Mart
We’re sure this moment won’t appear in a “baby’s firsts”
journal any time soon. According to North Kingstown police, a trio of teens took the babies along with them as they attempted to
shoplift from Walmart.
Amongst the unpurchases, the trio attempted to steal
infant drops, a pacifier, baby shoes and BB gun ammo – because what goes better
with baby supplies than ammunition? The three teens were all charged with
shoplifting and conspiracy. The babies evaded charges.
Only a Little Bit
Over the Speed Limit
This week's speed record goes to a 28-year-old Tiverton
man, who clocked one of the highest-ever recorded
speeds in town at 135 mph. In his
defense, he was only 80 mph over the speed limit…and maybe the speedometer on
his BMW was broken.
