Baby on Board for Bank Robbery
This East Providence mother probably won’t be in the running for
“Mom of the Year” any time soon. According to EP police, the 34-year-old woman robbed a
credit union recently.
She was wearing a wig and allegedly claimed to have a bomb. The
woman reportedly took off in a red pick-up truck before being caught by police
three hours later. During this whole ordeal, the woman’s three-year-old child
was reportedly in the getaway car.
One-Legged Bandit Robs Garage
This is a first for OMG PD: an alleged one-legged robber. According to Cranston police, a man with one
leg who uses crutches broke into a garage through a rear window. The man
reportedly made off with a plunder of $100 in cash, a digital camera and other
items.
Police believe he may be a regular of the public bus
transportation services. He is described as in his 40s and balding and lacking
a right leg.
Family Feuds While Watching Football
This season’s NFL games have left many football fans fuming,
including a father-son duo in Woonsocket. According to reports, the two had been drinking while
watching football before engaging in a heated argument in the kitchen.
The son reportedly broke off a ceiling fan blade in anger and
punched his father five times. (It is unknown if the argument was sparked by
the terrible calls made by the NFL replacement refs.)
Quit While You’re Ahead
A man could have walked away with a simple no-trespass order
last weekend if he had not bid a Johnston police officer
with some unkind parting words. According to reports, the 30-year-old man had been banging on
the windows and doors of a Johnston home, prompting the homeowner to call
police and request a no-trespass order.
When officers arrived, they reportedly found the man trying to
hide behind a boat in the driveway. As one of the officers told the man to
leave the property, he reportedly replied with expletives, which landed him in
handcuffs on a disorderly conduct charge.
Serious Road Rage
One East Greenwich man seemed to have a bit too much time on his
hands this week after he followed another driver
during a bout of road rage. According to reports, the 44-year-old man began riding the
other driver’s tail after he merged from the highway.
The man continued to follow the driver through several streets
and back roads, at one point allegedly getting out of his car and knocking on
the man’s windows. The other driver called 911 and pulled into the police
station — which did not deter the EG man as he reportedly continued to yell at
the other driver and spit on his car.
