Sister Punch & the
Bathroom Bandit
Sisterly Love
This week’s OMG PD submission from North
Kingstown delves into the age-old question: is it illegal to punch your
sister in the face?
One NK woman had some difficulty ascertaining the legality of assaulting her
sister when she allegedly showed up to her sibling’s home uninvited and heavily
intoxicated. The 41-year-old woman allegedly assaulted her sister while she was
trying to get her to leave.
Plans Flushed Down the Toilet
It’s not a nickname anyone would want, but
perhaps one Cranston man should’ve have chosen a different item to allegedly
steal. Authorities captured the “Bathroom
Bandit’ (hailing from
Cranston) this week, who is suspected of stealing plumbing from several
buildings and businesses in Warwick, and scrapping the metals and fixtures. In
one crime alone, he allegedly made off with more than $1,500 in valves.
His
string of bathroom shenanigans ended when an employee at a Wendy’s noticed that
the automatic flush valves were missing from the men’s bathroom. He was charged
with two felony counts of larceny and seven counts of misdemeanor larceny.
Barrington Woman Arrested for Threatening to
Shoot Up EP Schools
A local woman became so upset over a school rule
banning cell phone use that she allegedly threatened to “shoot up” her child's
school. According to
reports, her son had called her using his cell phone, asking her to pick him up
because he was sick. She reportedly stormed out of the East Providence school
upon learning of the rules and threatened to “shoot” it up.
She was arrested
following a warrant over the incident. One thing police and school officials
are trying to ascertain is why the woman’s son, who lives in Barrington, is
attending school in East Providence.
Common Sense
When one does not have a valid license, one
should only not be driving, but should also try to minimize the amount of
illegal items they have on themselves. Apparently, one Woonsocket man
didn’t get the memo this week when he was arrested after police discovered he
was driving without a driver’s license.
Making matters worse, police allegedly
found not one but two illegal-sized knives in the man’s car. Oh, and they
reported finding marijuana. Did we mention the cocaine? Yeah, there was
allegedly cocaine in the car, too.
